Synopsis

SIGILS INCISED, A COMMUNION WITH THE BLADE A trio of young people stranded on an uncharted island discover its sickening secrets. A man contracts a degenerative disease through a webcam encounter. An office worker follows the object of his affection into a mysterious club where life, death, and anatomy have no limits. A reforming necrophiliac struggles to maintain the illusion of normalcy in a new relationship. A woman awakens with other captives in the basement of a madman using them to attract impossible prey. UNLOCK THE GATES OF FLESH, WORLDS WITHIN FLAYED A decade after the infamous Genital Grinder, Ryan Harding returns with ten more stories, collected for the first time— including the Splatterpunk Award-winning tales "The Seacretor" and "Angelbait"— which plunder the depths of depravity and obsession, yielding offenses and transformations of the flesh never before seen or carved. His first solo work in years dissects its themes and characters alike in a sublime autopsy worthy of the hardcore horror pantheon. Even the vomitorium has its philosophy, and the keys to revelation are all serrated. EVERY JOURNEY BEGINS WITH A SINGLE SLICE... TRANSCENDENTAL MUTILATION

Dark, twisted, vile, and impossible to put down. Do not......more

Goodreads review by DA on January 06, 2024

Loved every story! This is my first time reading Harding's work and it definitely won't be my last. Each story is connected in some small way, either with a mention of a character from another story or InterphaZ. It was quite fun to find these little Easter eggs as I was reading. There's also just th......more

Goodreads review by Christina on March 07, 2024

I reviewed this entire collection over a year ago but I’m a different person now. The Christina of a year ago wasn’t as hip to the Easter eggs and movie/music references so here we are, all of us, reading the more mature review. (OK, that may be a bit of a stretch, tbh.) There are ten short stories i......more

Goodreads review by Nikolas on February 03, 2024

It’s worth taking time to meditate upon Ryan Harding’s Transcendental Mutilation. The author is an absolute master of body horror. He builds from an unsettling tone with the carefully selected words he uses to build the nightmares he’s crafted for the reader’s exploration…nudging you along until you......more
