The birth of evil… In 2017, Splatterpunk masters Bentley Little, John Skipp Jack Ketchum and Edward Lee united in an extreme horror masterpiece, resulting in our largest and best-selling anthology to date. However, the origin story of Blood Bound Books’ extreme reputation began here... With cover art inspired by a 90's Slayer T-shirt and brought to life by the Maggotmeister Andrej Bartolovic, D.O.A. is twenty-eight stories of offensive, repulsive, and disturbing content. Like an underground mix tape of your favorite death metal bands, D.O.A. is raw and gritty, and the beginning of something epic. WARNING: This anthology contains 28 stories of violence, sexual depravity, self-degradation, and other dark subjects taken to an extreme you've never read before. If consumed, please consult a mortician. *Blood Bound Books does not in any way condone or endorse the actions described in the stories of this book.

Extreme Horror Anthology,” the fast-paced prose is always there and the gore, sex and violence are almost always unrelenting and intense." - Horrorphilia This book took 5th place in Preditors & Editors Poll for best antholoy of 2011 and takes horror to an extreme you’ve never read before. Author Kenneth Yu will introduce you to a disturbing interest that two men in the Philippines share, while Edward R. Rosick reveals the true location of the soul. Readers will journey from plague-ridden ships off England’s coast to the viscous barrios of Mexico. But remember, this book is not for the easily sickened or offended. You’ve been warned.
Authors
John McNee is the writer of numerous strange and disturbing horror stories, published in a variety of strange and disturbing anthologies, as well as the novel 'Prince of Nightmares'. He is also the creator of Grudgehaven and the author of 'Grudge Punk', a collection of short stories detailing the lives and deaths of its gruesome inhabitants, as well as its sequel, 'Petroleum Precinct'. He lives in Scotland, where he is employed as a journalist.
Although he is the author of several books—including the private eye novel All White Girls—Michael Bracken is better known as the author of more than 1,300 short stories published in Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine, Espionage, Mike Shayne Mystery Magazine, The Best American Mystery Stories and many other publications. Bracken is editor of six crime fiction anthologies, including The Eyes of Texas and the three-volume Fedora series, and is co-editor (with Trey R. Barker) of the serial novella anthology series Guns + Tacos. Bracken served one term as vice president of the Private Eye Writers of America and three terms as vice president of the Mystery Writers of America’s Southwest chapter.
Eric Dimbleby writes stories concerning the underbelly of humanity and its perpetual misery. And for these crimes against his fellow man, in imagining their ultimate degradation, he has gone missing. Some say that he is “unstuck in time”, while others purport to have spotted him at the edge of a poorly dug grave on the side of a highway to nowhere in particular, takin' care of business.... feeding the worm. Feeding the demon. Learn more at his website.
People in New York City will tell you that it’s not what you do to pay your bills that defines you. That’s just your day job. It doesn’t matter if you wait tables or drive a bus or work as a stockbroker until you get your Big Break, you’re really an actor, or a singer, or a dancer, or an artist. If that’s true, then I’m a writer and aspiring tabletop rpg designer who lives in New York City with my beloved wife, still working and waiting for my Big Break. I’m a movie buff and a horror hound. My favorite season is Fall, which has somehow become a time of renewal to me. My music of choice is epic rock, and I love walking my city and finding all of its hidden wonders; I have a special love for Coney Island. Most of all, I love the stories. I’ve loved the stories since I was a very small child, begging my parents to read me another book. The stories have been my friends at times when I didn’t seem to have any others.
A. R. Braun is the author of the horror novella, 66SICK, and the horror novels, Book of Sprites, Book of Shadows, Dogman of Illinois, Heaven's Witches, Autonomy, The Not, and Only Women in Hell, as well as the short-story collections Phantom World, Insanity, and Horrorbook. He became interested in horror when he read “The Telltale Heart” as an assignment in high school. By the time he was eighteen, he had the whole Stephen King collection and started writing short stories for friends and family. His main goal was to put together a heavy metal band, and he spent many years working blue collar jobs and seeking out musicians, but never fell in with the right kind of guys. He has numerous publication credits, including “NREM Sleep” in the D.O.A. anthology; “Freaks” in Downstate Story magazine; “The Unwanted Visitors” in the Vermin anthology; “Coven” in the Heavy Metal Horror anthology; “Remember Me?” in Horror Bound magazine; “Shades of Gray (the Symbiosis of Light and Dark)” in Micro Horror magazine; and “The Interloper” in the Bonded by Blood 2: a Romance in Red anthology. Weightlifting, mixed martial arts, and audio comedy are a few of his current interests.
