Pornography for the End of the World

By Brendan Vidito
Pornography for the End of the World by Brendan Vidito digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

The end of the world demands a new form of pornography… 
From Brendan Vidito, the Wonderland-Award-winning author of Nightmares in Ecstasy, comes nine tales of apocalyptic body horror. 
A young man is initiated into a cult that worships sickness and disease. 
Survivors of a nuclear holocaust make a pilgrimage to the last movie theater in existence. 
Premonitions of disaster haunt a loving couple doomed to watch each other die. 
Each story pulsates with Vidito's characteristic dark humor, atmospheric tension, and visceral prose. This is pornography for the devotee of horror, the morbidly curious—pornography for the end of the world. 

 

"With apocalyptic urgency, Vidito strip-mines our psychosexual fears and frailties as humans to elicit an ecstatic response. I couldn't stop reading. As a grand manipulator, he molds speculative horror and body horror into one dark hybrid, a sleek and cum-soaked vessel of transcendence." - Joe Koch (The Wingspan of Severed Hands, Convulsive

 

 "Audacious and devastatingly unique, Pornography for the End of the World is the literary equivalent of a Molotov cocktail with author Brendan Vidito's fiery and explosive writing that feels utterly dangerous to read. I'm still recovering from the brutality of some of these tales."  - Eric LaRocca (Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke)

Pornography for the End of the World Reviews

3.0
“Wow. I did not expect this to be as gorey as it was. Every short story plot is completely original and I really enjoyed them all, but the intense detail in some parts just icked me out personally. Not to mention the last story has an editing error, where one of the pilgrims, Geoff, dies, but the rest of the pilgrims keep saying Brian died. Otherwise incredibly interesting read and I've been thinking about these stories for days now”
“This book is a collection of creepy short stories that are mostly body horror. The writing style fits the short story format, proving just enough description to leave you feeling a bit disgusted and uneasy at the end of each story. Overall, I enjoyed each story, however I did love some more than others. The whole atmosphere of the book is disturbing, slightly off putting and fantastic. I particularly liked short story 1 (walking in ash) and 2 (Mother’s Mark) and would’ve loved to have a whole book dedicated to each of these stories. That is the only way this book could’ve been better, everything else was exactly what I wanted.”
