“My skull is winding in fragmented frequencies, digital complexion of warbled zoom mashed brain potatoes and raspberry moon. If you like twisted, weird, and sometimes psychotic fiction, click “My Fiction” in the blue bar to your upper left or click one of the selections in the featured content window–you will not be disappointed.”
This is Bobby Revell’s introduction of himself to potential readers. And he’s not joking. Revell’s horror is disturbing and not just “sometimes psychotic.”
I’ve experienced three of Revell’s short stories.
In Jessica’s Seduction: Horror Story of Passion a bored psychopath blogs about one of her adventures with the author. Gruesome and chilling, this story disturbed me to no end.
The next short I read at revellian.com was Forgotten Slabs of Nothingness, a story featuring the author when he first meets Jessica. A tale which includes a horror poem and crazed sex, the story is one the author claims to have written in a trance.
And finally, we have Death By Cigarette which I think is actually a very good short story. Except (or maybe because)… the author wrote it as if the incident was real and incorporated an authentic looking photograph of an armless, blood-sodden body.
This stuff is horror in real life. It’s edgy and disturbing. Over the top? Needs some editing to tone it down? I’d say yes. But how do you mess with something so visceral that it leaves you feeling worried about the author’s state of mind?
