Villain Origin Story | Extreme Horror Review

After a terrible family tragedy, what seems like a peaceful Thanksgiving meal turns into a meal of horror.

Angie has hit the breaking point with her family. That doesn't deter her from wanting to spend a holiday with her family.

The guests soon find out that Angie didn't invite them out of kindness.

This is a bloody horror story. There are scenes of extreme violence. Not for children.

This story is based on fiction. If this is anything like your family holidays, I apologize.


AN EXTREME TURKEY DINNER by Sea Caumissar is brutal and full of graphic violence. As horrific as Angie's behavior is, when her reason for her plan is finally fully revealed, all I could think is, "Larry got off waaay too lightly."

This story is not for weak stomachs or people who are sentimental about the holidays. This could possibly be a villain origin story...but not necessarily for Angie.

As always,

Pass the Bucket | Extreme Horror Review | AstraDaemon

WITH CHILD: EXTREME HORROR by Sea Caumissar is absolutely brutal and filled with very graphic violence of a specific nature. I venture into extreme horror every now and then, but I don't usually have the stomach for it. This novella pushed me far beyond my comfort zone. I haven't been this traumatized since I watched A Serbian Film.

However, if you are a regular fan of the sub-genre, you will likely enjoy this story. Caumissar keeps readers guessing, refusing to name the sadistic killer until the very end, and giving plenty of reasons to suspect more than one character. I wasn't expecting a happy ending, but I'm vexed just the same. Might sound strange, but I was hoping for a killer vs. killer outcome.

Some might attempt to argue this is exploitive or unnecessarily graphic, but I think the author did a decent job balancing the gore with the element of crime drama.

Read at your own risk.
