Edward Lee worthy

Although not written by Edward Lee it was very comparable. Gory, explicit, sickening at times, just down right wrong on many levels! I ,however enjoy these kind of stories tremendously so was thrilled. My only complaint is that it ended so soon, I wanted more stories! Splatterporn is the only fitting name so if that gross or offensive to you , don't read this. This book was gifted to me by the author for an honest review and I loved it but, I guess I'm a little twisted :-). Happy readings.

Fun if you like a little sick in your life...

I was warned that this was going to be very disturbing but it wasn't too gnarly.

Most of the stories were good. They are pretty typical horror anthology topics presented in an "extreme" fashion.

The narration was excellent, and i'm not just saying that because this audiobook was given by the narrator at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom

Overall: If you understand this isn't Stephen King or Dean Koontz, you'll gave a good time.

This ain't no feel good rom-com. That's for sure!

*I received a review audio copy of this work from the narrator in exchange for an honest review.

When searching for something that I want to read or listen to, I am not sure what it says about me that I see the title “Stiff Things: The Splatterporn Anthology” and am instantly thinking to myself “Hey, that sounds f*cking great!” My wife would be horrified. Oh, well…she married me. I am equally horrified when she picks up one of her fluffy, lovey, romance novels. Which is exactly what Stiff Things is - a feel good rom-com, except with much more bodily fluid and gore and with zero of the “feel good romance” part. Unless, you count necrophilia, rape, mutilation and torture, to be romance.

I have not heard of most of the authors in this collection and I always find that to be a hit or miss scenario for me, but ST pulls it off and now I have a few new-to-me authors to keep an eye out for. As for the stories themselves, there were some tales that I enjoyed more than others, but overall it was a well put together and entertaining range of format and styles. All of them worthy of the “splatterporn” title.

It has got to be hard to narrate a collection like this one without either laughing or puking. I am a fan of Joe Hemple and he shines in this kind of environment and does not shrink away from doing an audio that must have been extremely difficult at times. Thanks for the review copy, Joe! I can only wonder what others around me would be thinking if they could hear what I was listening to in my car.

If you like your dark fiction a wee messy and a whole lot of dark, this one might be your huckleberry. I am giving this one 3.5 Stars! Good, not great, but worth your time to check out some new up and coming authors. No pun intended.

Disturbing at times

The narrator is excellent. The stories vary in quality but the are a few that were memorable. Not for the squeamish or easily offended, but you should be able to tell that by the name.

Really Disturbing Stuff

Any additional comments?

Very rarely does anything horror bother me but this collection was particularly disturbing in a way that might just be purposely gratuitous. That said, it IS called "Stiff Things: The Splatterporn Anthology" and that really says it all. These are sexually disgusting tales where people frequently die. If you're into that kind of thing, you'll love this book! Joe Hempel is an amazing narrator and never fails to deliver - he makes this gross book worth listening to!

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Less kink, more horror please !

Any additional comments?

The majority of stories in this anthology lean more heavily on sex, and less on horror. If you like being read porn to you, go for it!. I was looking for more extreme horror, and this audiobook left me limp. As in most anthologies, a fair amount of the stories met my expectations. This book was given to me for free by Audiobook Boom in exchange for an honest review. I preferred "Year's Best Hardcore Horror, Volume 1" audiobook by the same publisher, available at Audible.

Not safe for young ears!

I got this book because of it's narrator. I was in the mood for a good horror book. Joe Hempel is my favorite horror narrator, so I couldn't go wrong with this, right? I should have read the WHOLE title. I just read Stiff Things and saw what looked like a possible zombie on the cover of the book. Boy was I wrong! That being said, I still enjoyed the heck out of this book! lol As always, Joe did a fantastic job with the narration! All of the authors that wrote these stories are new to me and I enjoyed each story. This book is NOT for younger listeners!

It's Corn, with a big lump of blood

This is a great anthology, the first story sets a great tone, and some of the tales live up to it; some fall a little short, but none are bad by any means. Bum, bum, bum. That's all I'm going to say. This is a hardcore set of stories, so expect explicit sex and a huge helping of hemorrhaging and death. Don't expect neat and tidy things. This book is messy and downright nasty and in your face, so it ain't for the squeamish.

Hempel hammers the hell out of the dialogue and absolutely does wonders in setting the tone. Given the topics and actions in this book he proves himself to be hardcore as well as knowing horror inside and out.

Some twisted authors-Erotic Horror

Any additional comments?

I don’t even know where to begin there is some really twisted stories in here that will leave you with your mouth hung open and brain saying there is no way I heard that right. This is horror at its finest leaving you no doubt there are some really twisted people out there and hoping praying you never meet them.  When the narrator posted he was looking for reviews “PM ME IF YOU DARE” he typed…okay you got my attention. I ask how you can you turn down a dare like that…NOT ME… I really didn’t have a clue what I just requested but it didn’t take me long to tell myself maybe we are in a little too deep here. From the start of the story there is no doubt this is hard core porn and I said to my self- self are you really going to listen to this. Self said a promise is a promise so yes we are. That lead me to looks of horror, thinking OH MY GOD that is nasty, really, wow didn’t see that coming, to shock as well as shaking in my shoes…okay maybe not the shaking part but I know I never want to meet any of these people. You have been warned…read on if you dare.

Mr. Hempel my hats off to you for the outstanding narration of this book. I am sure you set with your legs crossed and hands over your lap a time or two as you worked your way through this story. I had no trouble at all feeling the excitement of each character at the build up for some thrilling exciting sex scenes. You even had me feeling sorry for mankind and wanting to pull a few people right out of the pages as they took on the pleasure and then the pain when the end was clear. I found his character voices to be wonderful you have no trouble knowing who is talking, or how much pleasure they are in along with how much pain they feel along with the excitement the deliver is feeling as they bring the pleasure and pain on. There were no background noise (if there had been I would most likely have jumped out of my car running for my life) nor any places where the volume was louder than any other place in the audio. What this narrator gives you is clean, crisp, clear audio that will leave you shaking your head. You have no trouble visualizing what he has just given you it is very vivid that you become so invested you might forget where you where you are and what you are doing. I really wish I could give more than 5 Stars the narration was outstanding.

The first story starts out they are looking for some action as they have a few VERY HOT scenes with their selves. They finally found one to take up the call went home and got it on for everyone on the net as you yourself think oh and not in a good way. You think what are these people thinking and then you find out. As I was almost to work the audio left me speechless with my mouth hung open think no way that just happened. Yep Yep it did and lord they aren’t done. I had to set in my car listening until the end came still leaving me speechless. I have to honestly say this title fits the book in more ways than one. It will not be the first of these stories that will leave you speechless there are a few. Some I didn’t really care for it was a little hard to understand what the author was trying to show you but horror no doubt is in there. Others will leave you so shocked you won’t be able to talk leaving you looking straight ahead with eyes blinking afraid to face just what happened. Some are nasty beyond nasty and some will make you want to upchuck. This is one book that is filled with psychosexual horror that will leave men with their legs crossed and pulling back into their selves wishing they could run but to afraid to move. It will leave women shaking in horror wanting to run the other way. If you love horror and erotic take the dare and pick this up you will never see humans the same again. I know I am keeping an eye on those around me and I don’t think I will be making any new friends anytime soon. Lol This is just too horrible and to nasty but I bet it will stick with you for a long time. It’s not an audio for the weak there are some very vivid details that you won’t even have to close your eyes to see. I am still shaking my head. Words cannot do justice to some of these stories….

Volunteered requested a copy from NetGalley/Edelweiss /book tour/author/publisher
