Robin’s Review of Appendage

Appendage: Featuring eight nasty tales of splatter punk horror

A collection of eight splattery tales of torture, filth, and terror. These short stories include one about the young female offspring of an unholy collaboration of human and octopus, a splatter western (“Big Blue Sky, Bright Red Spatter”), a Halloween themed “Pumpkin Slice,” a story about a homeless man with one free wish (“Choose Your Illusion”), an account into the life of the New Elephant Man (“The Elephant in the Room”), an extreme horror/love story called “The Man With the Frozen Heart”, and the nasty story that reached #1 on the Godless platform; BLOODCUM!

Robin’s Review

Triggers: Graphic violence, extreme body horror, explicit sexual content, gore, filth, torture, splatterpunk excess. This book does not tiptoe.

What Did I Just Walk Into?

An unholy funhouse where splatterpunk goes to take a victory lap. Eight stories, zero shame, and a title that dares you to clutch pearls before page one.

Here’s What Slapped:

Mr. Merrill David knows exactly what lane he is in and floors it. This collection is gross, funny, mean, and strangely heartfelt when you least expect it. The range here is wild. A splatter western. A tragic Elephant Man redux. A love story that hurts in all the wrong ways. And yes, BLOODCUM! earns its reputation by being as sticky, baffling, and aggressively unforgettable as promised. The characters are not just meat for the grinder either. Even at peak filth, there is intention, pacing, and an author who understands tension and payoff.

What Could’ve Been Better:

If splatterpunk is not your thing, this book will not convert you gently. Some stories hit harder than others, and the extremity can occasionally overshadow the emotional beats. This is less a flaw and more a warning label.

Perfect for Readers Who Love:

Extreme horror, splatterpunk, gross-out brilliance, pitch-black humor, and stories that dare you to keep reading even when your brain says maybe not.

Sum It Up:

Appendage is loud, nasty, and unapologetic, the kind of collection that dares you to blink first. It is not subtle, it is not polite, and it is absolutely confident in what it is doing.
