Spanky, Slappy, and Moaner

A haunted hotel registers a new permanent resident.

FROM THE WINDOW OF her second story hotel room, Lara could see her dinged-up 1979 maroon Thunderbird in the parking lot. Even in the twilight, she could make out the faded sticker on the bumper: Today is the first day of the rest of your life. She’d inherited the ancient T-Bird from an old and childless hippy aunt on her mother’s side. READ MORE...

Zombie Pussy

Sex and the zombie apocalypse.

ZOMBIE PUSSY WAS STRANGE. Dry, wet, and rough at the same time. It was also addicting and challenging, like fucking a mechanical riding bull.

When the chains around her neck and wrists clanged loud enough, it was time to feed her, even though she was always hungry. The food would slide down her throat in a lump, travel through her g READ MORE...

Daddy’s House

Inside Daddy’s house is pure hell.

I CAN’T HELP MYSELF and keep swinging the ax, reducing his face further and further to red paste. One of his eyes stares at me with a panicked look. I glare back.

My arms ache. My knees buckle. My mind tells my body to keep going. That he’s not dead, not yet. His body is still twitching. I want it to stop. No rising or falling, READ MORE...

Reciprocity

She hates Easy Cheese, and it’s her way out of a hopeless life.

“I’m leaving,” Cecily said.

But her words were lost in the face of his rage.

Behind him, the gas flame flickered on the stovetop. Cecily wasn’t much of a cook, but she’d managed to not burn the Hamburger Helper this time. It didn’t matter. He’d grabbed the pan and thrown it at the wall with all his might. Now, the grou READ MORE...

LMS

The end of the fucking world can only get worse, I promise.

PETR AWOKE TO THE sounds of lonely car alarms blaring far off in the distance. For a moment, he wondered if it was the reason behind his sleep disruption. Unable to arrive at a clear answer, he let his right arm fall on Ivanna’s side. The gentle curve of her hip calmed him for a while. In the moist darkness he tried to synchronize his breathing w READ MORE...

Blood Offering

When the world is being ripped apart, it tears us inside out.

THE TEENAGE HUNTERS FOLLOWED the cottontail down into the holler, jumping a makeshift fence with KEEP OUT signs posted. It was the only animal they’d seen the entire afternoon, which was why they pursued it so doggedly. The two brothers, Asher and Hudson Mullins, went one way, while Liam Turner darted in the opposite direction toward a craggy roc READ MORE...

The Curse of Being Beautiful

Gods guard beauty, and damn any who dare to possess it.

THE CARVING IS BEAUTIFUL. Why can’t I carve? The details are perfect, crisp as the day they were chipped from the granite four generations ago.

She is the epitome of beauty. Her statue looms to the left of the dark opening. A pointed archway into the unknown.

Though it READ MORE...

The Last Course

When you have bitten off more than you can chew...

CAMERON VOSS HAD BEEN a god once—or as close as the digital age allowed.

Twenty-seven years old, six million followers on YouTube, nearly eleven million on TikTok. He wasn’t a comedian. He wasn’t a chef. He wasn’t a game dev.

He was just...there. A face. A laugh. A constant presence in the algorithm’s bloodstream. READ MORE...

One Hundred Years to the Day

Bad timing is everything.

BOUND AND GAGGED, cloak barely covering her translucent flesh, Theda could only watch as one of the brigands castrated her man with a stiletto, then the other blew out his brains as he attempted to crawl away across the infertile soil.

“Cheer up now, Fair Daughter,” the man with the eyepatch said as he cleaned his knife against his thig READ MORE...

What Lives Inside My Panties

Nobody was ready for this.

I HAVE NEVER REALLY understood why the word “panties” is so skeevy to people. I mean people wear them, shop for them, wash them, and even model them for oglers online. But no, I hear they’re referred to as “underwear,” “drawers,” “skivvies,” “foundation garments,” and even “unmentionables.”

Well, they’re gonna be READ MORE...

A sequel to Taco Tim, which appeared in Carnage House Issue #7.

The Green and Red Dragon Tattoo

A misogynist gets his comeuppance from the special ink of a tattoo.

SHANE DIDN’T LIKE THIS guy one bit. Within ten minutes of tattooing the back of his right calf, he’d proven to be the largest misogynistic asshole Shane had ever met. So Shane brought out the special ink.

“Hey guy, I work better if it’s quiet in here,” Shane said.

“Oh, okay. But you have to admit that Kim Kardashian has li READ MORE...

The Artist

In the hands of the Artist every death is a piece of art.

PEOPLE ARE SUCH FOUL creatures. Physically, they are grotesque. They disgust me. Pounds of excess fat carelessly hanging from their obese bodies, along with sprouts of hair follicles springing up everywhere on their skin. Then there are the clumps of leftover food littering their crooked yellow teeth. If you even thought about getting close to a pe READ MORE...
