The Crawling Abattoir by Martin Mundt

Martin Mundt is a nasty, warped, zero-termperature so-and-so who can't put two words together without first snickering, then slitting their throats. This guy is far too hip for his own good. No wonder reading him is such a pleasure.
-- Peter Straub, author of Floating Dragon & Hellfire Club

Strange, silly, funny tales in extremely poor taste. Highly recommended -- also recommended for those who are high.

-- Poppy Z. Brite, author of Lost Souls & The Crow: Lazarus Heart
The Crawling Abattoir
Incredibly cool cover by Jeffrey Osier 		The work of newcomer Martin Mundt is sick, insane, surreal, and thoroughly enjoyable. I'm looking forward to more.
-- F. Paul Wilson, author of The Keep & Deep as The Marrow

These are tales that would have driven Robert Bloch psycho, would have made Chucky upchuck, would have made a Freddy film seem like a badtime story. Read at your own risk -- I did and now I'm having difficulty writing in this tight white jacket with my arms folded in front.

-- Forrest J. Ackerman, editor of Famous Monsters of Filmland

Nazi dragons, lethal llamas, full-body zippers, Pierced Pets... all this and Kevin Bacon, too! Sort of. If Mundt doesn't make you smile you're probably as dead and immune to black humor as his cherished Celebrity Corpse.

-- Jack Ketchum, author of The Girl Next Door & Stranglehold
Martin Mundt is a sick, sick man -- and I mean that in the very best way. I really admire anyone this twisted. He's got a real flair for violence, a solid prose style, and a truly appalling sense of humor. I want to see more!
-- Lawrence Watt-Evans, author of
The Misenchanted Sword & Touched by the Gods

Personal ads placed by lonely corpses, a colony of carnivorous insects holed up in modern-day suburbia, and a Manson-style religious cult searching neighborhood homes for its reincarnated leader -- just three good reasons why you should invite manic Martin Mundt's "The Crawling Abattoir" into your home... and let's face it: it's safer than leaving the damned thing where anybody might find it!

-- Peter Crowther, author of
Escardy Gap, editor of Narrow Houses

Martin Mundt has a wickedly diabolic sense of humor. His irreverent humorous horror pokes chilling fun at everybody and everything, and nobody is safe: clowns, movie stars, necrophiles!

-- Nancy Kilpatrick, author of
The Power of the Blood series, editor of
In the Shadow of the Gargoyle

The Crawling Abattoir is one twisted emporium. It's got dragons, clowns, and Kevin Bacon (well, almost), and it proves that Martin Mundt is a writer to watch...

-- Norman Partridge, author of
Saguaro Riptide, editor of It Came From the Drive-In
