A Little Bit Country, the introduction to the terrific Fucking Scumbags Burn In Hell series, sets the bar high and showcases a uniquely cruel and sardonic portrait of Hell. It’s not supposed to be a fun place, after all. The important thing to remember is that these people belong there, and the torment awaiting them is one that would make Dante proud.
Reading about the experience of “Country” as he finds his place in the realm of the damned, I’m forced to reconsider Jean-Paul Sartre’s assertion that “Hell is other people,” and suspect that perhaps Hell is more appropriately ourselves. There is something of No Exit in this brief, humorous tale, in that Hell is not the place we expect it to be, and it’s that subverted expectation that contains the trap waiting to spring closed and provide the torture we’ve earned.
Country seems almost sympathetic at first, but I think there’s a little bit of Hooper in all of us, and the satisfaction at seeing how everything comes back around can’t be understated.

A right in reading call me Hoop but since this was a series in going to rate each story. That being said the first one in this series is just fucking awesome with brutality gore and violence with a fucking wicked twist for a ending this is a good introduction to the entity that is Hoop coming out swinging into the next one I go

F$&@ing Scumbags Burn in Hell 1 by Drew Stepek is a really screwy ride. Absolutely fun though, and I loved how the story turned out. It left me thinking, “Ha! Serves you right! Now rot for eternity!”
I really look forward to the forthcoming installments in this Godless.com serial. I also will be interested to see other authors take a stab as well.
A nice quick read, and Drew knows how to write superbly! I give F$&@ing Scumbags Burn in Hell 1 four stars out of five stars. The ending was by far my favorite segment, and was truly satisfying! It started off a bit slow, and I didn’t really understand where it was going. Nevertheless, Stepek pulled off an incredible twist in the end. Earning the rightfully deserved four burning stars.

What a brain expanding imagining of hell and the deserving scumbags that burn there as the forces of heaven are fought against. When Stepek talks on his Godless podcast/ Youtube channel he sucks me in with his expressions, enthusiasm and language and this comes across in his writing.
It may be a short gulp of a story but it has twists that swerve you in for a fitting climax.
Four scumbag shining stars from me!.

First book by Drew for me. Sooo- I'm intrigued, the story is short but really cool and a different take on the genre. I'm curious if the other books continue on.

I have been listening to a podcast (Horror Hill) that seems to be a fan of Mr. Stepek's work, and tends to do readings of his work in some episodes. Had I known that this was a Drew Stepek work initially, I would've skipped it due to the painful experience of reading "Knuckle Supper". Mr. Stepek continues his established pattern of absurd gore and ensuring that every character is unlikeable. At least the premise of this story calls for this--as the setting is in hell. This story was not intolerable, and therefore, a step up from "Knuckle Supper". That said, nothing to go out of your way for.

I read this as part of 'Call Me Hoop: Season 1' and loved it, it's only short story, but it is well written, and a hell of a lot of fun.

A really intense short story. That’s Karma for you, & Fucking Scumbags Burn in Hell!!

Country was walking around for what seemed like forever, in what seemed like Hell. It was definitely hotter than Hell, for sure. Was there even time in Hell? Finally, he gets selected to be a soldier of Satan, himself. He would be sent back to earth to fight for Satan’s team. Was this too good to be true? Country had no memory of what happened in his past life, so was this his destiny? To live eternity as a soldier? Once upon a time he did remember that there was no rewards or promotions in Hell and he felt foolish for once believing such madness. Country is sent back to Earth to relive his greatness of the life he once had when he was alive. How could he ever get so lucky??

What a banger of a start to a series! FSBH is a wild ride from start to finish. The ending was crazy! If you are looking for stories where scumbags get what they deserve this is the place to be. Hoop is awesome. Can’t wait to read more. Excellent mixture of comedy and horror. Solid read.

For anyone who’s unaware of the series, the Fucking Scumbags Burn in Hell books are novelettes available exclusively via Godless. The books are priced at a mere 50 cents (in truth, that’s American money so I don’t know what you can buy with it; maybe you’d get an oil well and set of stainless steel teeth, but I’d wager it’s probably such a small amount you’d get next to fuck all) and deal with tales of retribution. We’re not talking common run-of-the-mill retribution; we’re talking thermo-nuclear retribution.
The first in the series, A Little Bit Country, is by Drew Stepek, and it delivers a solid understanding of the theme of Fucking Scumbags Burn in Hell, as well as an insight into the recurring character, Hoop, behind the retribution. That said, this isn’t just an intro to forthcoming books; it’s a solid story in itself, and fucking good one at that.
We start off meeting Country, who’s a little but country, a little bit rock and roll, and a little bit of a scheming bastard. He’s dead, but he has no intention of spending his time in the caverns of Hell, not when there’s the potential to get out and reinstate himself in the land of the living.
One thing you soon realise about Country is he’s smart. He watches, listens, learns and exploits every bit of knowledge, so whenever a opportunity arises he’ll be ready to make sure the cards fall in his favour. The other thing you realise about Country is … well, he’s a dick.
A Little Bit Country is a fun read, and it keeps its powder dry with regards to the twist at the end. All in all, it’s a fucking hoot, and it’s free from Godless.com so you get to keep that 50 cents for oil and teeth.
If I were you, I’d go get it.

With a title like this you really wouldn’t expect much but how wrong I was. This was very well written and the story was amazing. A racist cop tracking down a serial killer by the name of The Slugger, a killer who uses an aluminum baseball bat to murder people on skid row. This gruesome story has some twists that will blow your mind. Loving this series. Can’t wait until the next!

This was my first real work in splatterpunk/extreme horror. It was an ok read. I am not a fan of the idiot country boy trope, but otherwise, had a decent story and a satisfactory ending. It was an adequate introduction into this genre.
July 6, 2021
A surprising take, I didn't see the twist coming and I enjoyed it. I also enjoyed the intense violence.
August 9, 2021
A quick, fun read! Loved the twist at the end. There’s no vacations in Hell 😈

Well then. This is the first in a series. I’m looking forward to reading the rest.
