She may be soft-hearted and bubbly, but Splatterpunk Award-winner Bridgett Nelson knows how to horrify. She knows how to disturb. And she sure as hell knows how to make you squirm. She proved it with A Bouquet of Viscera. And again with Poisoned Pink. Now she’s taking it to the next grisly level with Embracing the Profane, fifteen stories that will grab you by the throat…and rip it right out, one piece of viscera at a time. Want deviant sex? She’s got you covered. “Cherrified” is every man’s worst nightmare. Up for a little bestiality? “Can’t Be Tamed” is the one for you! No-holds-barred depravity? Check out “Hot for Cold.” She’ll break your heart with “Dying River.” And you’ll wonder what the ever-loving fuck is wrong with her once you’ve read “Shits N’ Giggles.” Like the 1980s AIDS epidemic, “Let’s Hear It for the Boy” brings confrontation and controversy. Want characters you’ll love to hate? The cruel bullies in “Three, Two, One…” are sure to scratch that itch. Go on. Join her. Embrace the profane. What’s the worst that can happen?
Author
Once an operating room registered nurse, Bridgett Nelson so enjoyed playing with human organs, she decided to turn her macabre interest into a horror writing career. She loves bubble baths (because nothing says spooooky writer like orange-scented bubbles), hates not knowing what’s swimming in the water with her, lives for Halloween season (but loathes chainsaw-wielding dudes in haunted houses), adores her West Virginia University Mountaineers, is very pro-Oxford comma, and thinks bananas are absolutely disgusting. She was a 2022 Michael Knost "Wings" award nominee, and won second place (out of fourteen contestants) in the '22 Gross-Out contest at KillerCon in Austin, Texas. Bridgett's bestselling, two-time Splatterpunk Award nominated debut collection, A BOUQUET OF VISCERA, is available in all formats. She has also contributed to many anthologies, including DEAD & BLOATED by The Evil Cookie Publishing, A WOMAN UNBECOMING by Crone Girls Press, and the upcoming AMERICAN CANNIBAL by Maenad Press. When Edward Lee read her story "Giggly" which will be dropping soon, he said to her: "Giggly kicked my ass. Outstanding job! I need therapy now." Much more is coming in 2023! More tidbits! Bridgett is a(n)… HWA: WV Chapter co-chair. Editor. Audiobook proofer. Bookworm. Dog lover. Tarantula whisperer. Bra avoider. ENJF. Amaretto Sour obsessor.
