Just two weeks ago, we wrote about Fangoria Presents and the first novel to be released under that title, which is Preston Fassel’s Our Lady of the Inferno. Today, Fangoria Presents has unveiled the second book that will be released through their label and it’s Michael J. Seidlinger’s My Pet Serial Killer.
“Claire is a student of forensic science, Victor is the Gentleman Killer. Subverting expectations, Claire seduces Victor and keeps him in her apartment as her pet—her darkest secret—before taking to the road to revisit her past pets in one final, bonechilling conclusion. Beautifully written, provocative to read, Seidlinger delves into Claire’s motivations and impetus to present a compelling psychosexual portrait of a woman obsessed with performance, with power, with sex, and with gore.
Early praise has already come in with The Book of Freaks author Jamie Iredell stating, “Seidlinger takes the slasher-horror movie, snuff film, found footage, webcam porn, and serial killer docudrama, cuts them all to pieces, pulls out their internal organs, reorganizes them in an ‘aesthetically pleasing arrangement,’ and shows us a story that is at once hilarious, pathetically sad, and a brilliant social critique. This is one where you’ll want to eat the offal.”
The book will be released September 18.
