Splatterpunk<\/em> #13 (10th Anniversary Issue) edited by Jack Bantry<\/a>
\n<\/strong>Reviewed by David Niall Wilson<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

When I received this for review, I had absolutely no idea what to expect. I\u2019d never seen an issue, but I\u2019d seen author\u2019s names associated with it that I was familiar. When it arrived, and I pulled it out, it felt as if I\u2019d stepped into a time capsule.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"splatterpunk<\/p>\n

My own writing career started in the mid to late eighties. Magazines like Deathrealm<\/em> and Thin Ice<\/em> were everywhere. Since then, the feel of those old small press markets has sort of slipped away. With print on demand available, and design software more affordable and accessible, the hand-made-feel has nearly been lost. SPLATTERPUNK<\/em> would have been right at home then and is a lot of fun now.<\/span><\/p>\n

The magazine itself is black and white, saddle stapled, with paper covers. The interior is laid out in columns, pretty small print, but I managed. There is a very open, friendly, and short editorial in the front from editor Jack Bantry, and then it\u2019s on to the contents. This issue features: There is art by Jim Agpalza, Denis Privezentsev, Robert Elroy and Dan Henk, who is the cover artist.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOf the Worms,\u201d by Ryan Harding, \u201cBlood, Guts and Gore,\u201d by Sean Leonard, an essay on good old blood and guts horror, low-budget, balls to the wall films — and it\u2019s a deep dive with some serious gems. \u201cGutted,\u201d by Bracken MacLeod, a very long and thorough interview with horror legend David J. Schow, conducted by Bantry himself, \u201cLast Day of Work,\u201d by Ryan C. Thomas, the #PromoteHorror review section and is concluded with a piece titled \u201cThings Remembered,\u201d by Brian Keene.<\/span><\/p>\n

The stories are varied in theme and flow, all unique takes\u2026 all disturbing in different ways. My favorite would be Bracken MacLeod\u2019s story, because of the way he handled the reverse action timeline. A very close second would be Brian Keene\u2019s \u201cThings Remembered,\u201d but for different reasons. Very, very different stories, and that is what makes magazines and anthologies magic. It\u2019s also set in a time and a mindset people will relate too. Ryan Harding sends a human up against The Worm and things get very dark.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ryan C. Thomas\u2019 \u201cLast Day of Work\u201d is a dark, gore-filled tale where a respected Employer and mentor shares a very dark vision of life, and death. This one is visceral and slimy\u2026 you can almost feel that on your brain as you read.<\/span><\/p>\n

The final tale is Brian Keene\u2019s \u201cThings Remembered,\u201d and as many of his recent works, it\u2019s personal. You can feel yourself in the rooms he\u2019s standing in, and the pain he feels, the loss, is palpable. Those are the good memories. What brings this story to this magazine are the memories he never shared.\u00a0 Powerful piece.<\/span><\/p>\n

Highly recommended for lovers of extreme horror, and those of you who remember the magazines mentioned above, you should really check this out. Some things are timeless.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
