Resumen del Editor
H/armed follows a man known as Estes who must try and bring logic and reason to 39 others who find themselves at the bidding of a bloodthirsty director inside a department store. This man, who is heard and never seen, warns of deadly consequences should these 40 individuals not abide by his instructions for those paying to view the livestream via the darknet: If you try and escape, you die. If you do not fight, you are killed by the security team. The last to survive earns the right to leave alive.
This darkly comedic, thrilling horror satire addresses the societal norm of control through obedience. It's a story that uses ultraviolence to express ideas and address stereotypes portrayed by Hollywood and accepted by the general masses, including the state of race, gender, sexual identity, and the power of individualism against bigotry. The voices of a few cannot control the actions of the many.

Shredding monsters is his stock and trade. He sniffs them out, tracks them down, and corners them. End of story. But when the tables are turned, expect the unexpected . . . Knowing his enemy is a rule that Deacon Chalk swears by. But he's never seen anything like whatever is leaving the Atlanta Zoo's most dangerous predators bloodless, skinned, and hanging high in the treetops. And he’s only got until sunrise to keep it from turning the entire city into a slaughterhouse.

Historia
The Donnybrook is a three-day bare-knuckle tournament held on a thousand-acre plot out in the sticks of southern Indiana. Twenty fighters. One wire-fence ring. Fight until only one man is left standing while a rowdy festival of onlookers - drunk and high on whatever’s on offer - bet on the fighters. Jarhead is a desperate man who’d do just about anything to feed his children. He’s also the toughest fighter in southeastern Kentucky, and he’s convinced that his ticket to a better life is one last fight with a cash prize so big it’ll solve all his problems.

Matt Hollis is the current wielder of the holy weapon, DÄMOREN. With it, he stalks and destroys demons. A secret society called the VALDUCANS has taken an interest in Matt's activities. They see him as a reckless rogue - little more than a "cowboy" corrupted by a monster - and a potential threat to their ancient order. As knights and their sentient weapons begin dying, Matt teams up with other hunters of his kind such as LUIZA, a woman with a conquistador blade; ALLAN, an Englishman with an Egyptian khopesh; MALCOLM, a voodoo priest with a sanctified machete; and TAKAIRA, a naginata-swinging Samurai.

Historia
Matheus Taylor didn't ask to be murdered. To be fair, the percentage of people actually asking to be murdered is probably small enough to be safely ignored, but he felt it was worth stating regardless. His life might have been ordinary, but it was his life and he wasn't done with it yet. Quin didn't care. A 1,700-year-old Roman, Quintus Livius Saturnius had a different view of morality than most people. Killing Matheus and hijacking his undead existence seemed perfectly acceptable to him.

Historia
When the aliens came down and told us they’d enslave all of the human race if we didn’t send our bigliest warrior to participate in their arena death games, I laughed at them. It was really funny because they obviously didn’t know who they were dealing with. Know what I mean? Then they said they would pick the greatest warrior, and they picked Marc Havak. He seemed like such an average guy, but he was a true-blue American. He even worked as a truck driver! That’s the kind of good guy we want defending us from aliens.

In a steel-and-lead-encased bunker 20 feet below the basement level of his house, a soldier waits for his final orders. On the surface, a plague ravages the planet, infecting over 90% of the populace. The bacterium burrows through the brain, destroying all signs of humanity and leaving behind little more than base, prehistoric instincts.

Since moving to Mystic Harbor, Maine, I've made it my life's mission to avoid Reese Blackburn at all costs. Sure, he has cheekbones that could cut glass, not to mention bedroom eyes that could melt any girl into a puddle on the floor. Too bad that doesn't change the fact he's completely stab-worthy. When a fun night out on the town turns deadly, I quickly discover the quaint little hamlet of Mystic Harbor houses more than sandy beaches and adorable B&Bs. Beneath the New England charm rests a world where shifters, demons, vampires, and angelic hunters all vie for power.

One Christmas Eve in a small hollow in Boone County, West Virginia, struggling songwriter Jesse Walker witnesses a strange spectacle: seven devilish figures chasing a man in a red suit toward a sleigh and eight reindeer. When the reindeer leap skyward, taking the sleigh, devil men, and Santa into the clouds, screams follow. Moments later, a large sack plummets back to earth, a magical sack that thrusts the down-on-his-luck singer into the clutches of the terrifying Yule Lord, Krampus.

Kill them all
No explanation required violence. Kill or be killed. The setting is a department store full of hunting equipment, cooking cutlery, a pharmacy, and anything you may need to make someone’s next breath their last. The teams are armed and ready with the only rule being that no one can leave until everyone else is dead. Forty people enter, one survives. If anyone tries to escape, they are shot. All live streamed on the dark web for viewers to place their bets.
Once this gets rolling it is nonstop violence. Trust no one and don’t ever let your guard down. Do you have what it takes to survive?
Short and bloody leaving you with question that don’t need to be answered in order to enjoy.
The narrator almost had me stop this one. Very robotic speech. If it wasn’t so short, I would have not been able to finish.

Uncompromising ultraviolence with searing insight
40 contestants take part in a deadly game, live-streamed on the dark web, under the apparent control of the sinister-sounding Director. In this brutal Big Brother scenario, where participants are eliminated with lethal weapons rather than votes, the ultimate (and unlikely) prize is survival. LaValley’s unsentimental yet evocative prose style riffs on themes of individual self-determination versus mass control, the unthinking obedience of the majority versus the resistance of the few, and satirises a bleak world in which character is necessarily reduced to stereotype; allegiances are cold and strategic rather than deeply felt. Clanging with motors, brands, tattoos, heavy metal and deadly weaponry, this novella takes us into video-game-style terror but the shock-and-awe violence reaches beyond that of the mere gratuitous, instead holding up a mirror to an ugly society, depicted by LaValley in staccato, almost Kerouac-style, rhythms neatly captured by narrator Adam Kurylo, who tells the tale with a precise low-key menace. Cosy it ain’t. Thought-provoking it is.
