SPLATTER THE NORMALFor this book, weird horror isn’t weird enough, and the extreme needs to be more extreme: the nineteen stories in Extremely Weird Splatter take the “quiet” respectability that characterizes a lot of weird fiction these days and fuses it with the elsewhere typically grounded—but very loud—transgressions of the extreme and splatterpunk.
