Sex, Gore, & Millipedes

by Ken MacGregor

Wait! Seriously, hang on a minute before opening this book. In case the title, and lurid, disturbing image on the front haven’t already made it shockingly clear, THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR CHILDREN. Or people with sensitive stomachs. Or taste. This is a volume of twisted, dark, incredibly graphic horror stories. This is all the stuff the author wouldn’t want his mom to even know he wrote. This is the one book he plans to keep hidden from his kids under after his death. It’s not all blood splatter and fornication, however. I mean, sure— there’s a lot of those things (more the latter, maybe). There’s human struggle, self-doubt, painful choices, and love. Yeah. Love. Because, if you, the reader, doesn’t feel for the characters, if they don’t resonate with you in some way… well, then where’s the fun in torturing them? Ken MacGregor pulls you into the stories, and, once you give a damn, that’s when he starts doing horrible things to the people in them. So, if you think you’ve got the guts, and you don’t mind losing some sleep, go ahead. Read the book. But, please, if you know Ken’s mom, don’t tell her it exists, okay?

“Sex, Gore, and Millipedes was fantastic! “Starter Home” was the hardest to read because it was so possible. That might be the one that gives me nightmares. “Bed Bugs” and “FuckKnot” were my favorites. Equally arousing and disturbing at the same time.

**Spoiler Alert**

In this collection, what I liked most was the unexpected details or added twist at the end that I didn’t expect but somehow made sense. Like, of course his tongue wiggled free and choked her to death! Of course the archaeologist died with his cock in the mummy! Excellent. Thanks.

Indeed there is some disturbing shit in here :) Ken does a good job with female anatomy, especially that women (for the most part) do NOT get off at being banged away at. (Even The Wire got that shit wrong and they were so dead on for everything else). I often cringe when male writers try to write female characters but he did a really good job and kept the violence gender neutral (if that makes sense).

I will never look at a chocolate bunny the same way again.

I won't review Ken's book since I am the publisher, but I will say that I did have a lot of fun reading the stories contained herein. Also, this book is NOT for the easily offended, those with a weak constitution, heart problems, the young...

This book was another drive into Extreme Horror. The author states this book is not for the faint of heart or the weak stomach. Listen to His warning ⚠️.

I Recommend this book for those that love Erotica Blended in with Horror.
The Crypt Keeper Does Dallas/ ( Debbie does Dallas). My favorite story was Stiffed. Stiffed (with Kerry Lipp) originally appeared in Life of the Dead, by Martinus Press, 2014.

There were funny jokes 🤣, shock 😲 factors, and triggers galore.
