Fatso: A Splatterpunk Novella (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798267752824)

Priscilla Dobbs weighs over 400 pounds and has spent her entire life being invisible-until she decides to become unforgettable.

Working the graveyard shift at a loading dock and caring for her paranoid schizophrenic aunt, Priscilla's world consists of frozen dinners, late-night television, and the daily humiliation of existing in a society that treats her like a walking punchline. Grocery store clerks sneer at her food stamps. Coworkers make cruel jokes. Strangers film her for social media mockery. Even well-meaning social workers and family members see her as a problem to be solved rather than a human being.

But when a teenage cashier pushes her too far during a routine shopping trip, Priscilla discovers that revenge tastes better than any meal she's ever had. But appetites, once awakened, are never easily satisfied.

What starts as a single moment of violence becomes a grotesque odyssey of carnage as Priscilla works her way through everyone who has ever made her feel less than human.

FATSO is an unflinching splatterpunk nightmare that asks uncomfortable questions about who society chooses to see-and who it decides doesn't matter. Part psychological horror, part visceral revenge fantasy, this blood-soaked tale serves up extreme violence while examining how a culture of casual cruelty creates its own monsters.

Not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach. Contains graphic violence, cannibalism, and scenes that will make you think twice about every cruel word you've ever spoken.

For readers who devoured Chuck Palahniuk's darker works, enjoyed the savage social commentary of Clive Barker, or appreciate the unflinching extremism of Edward Lee and Wrath James White.
