This anthology is full of scary, disgusting, horrifying, and incredible stories, all of them thought-provoking and memorable. Each story feels like an entire different take on the theme, showing the pain fascists bring to our community in sick ways. I loved this book, and everyone should read it because the stories are entertaining and diverse, written by a talented group of authors who did an amazing job crafting tales that will stay in your mind after finishing them. It also works as therapy,

'Antifa Splatterpunk' edited by Eric Raglin.Raglin has put together something very special here—Antifa Splatterpunk is definitely worthy of your time. This collection of sixteen intense, beautiful crafted stories by authors from around the world addresses the multifarious, fucked-up face of fascism with a cerebral punch.Peculiar anger-inducing bio-weapons, satanic white supremacists weaving dark magic, police brutality, hungry rats, threatening infrastructure, ghost-snorting necromancers—there i...

It feels maybe a little unethical reviewing this, because I've gotten to know some of the writers involved (virtually anyway) but damn is there some fine work on display here. Editor Eric Raglin has compiled stories that tackle fascism in several of its sickening varieties, with works dealing with Nazi Germany, Franco's Spain and modern America's white power movement.Highlights include Ana E. Robic's "The Chad Show" (in which a Tucker Carlsonish talking head mutilates himself for his "art"), Pat...

This collection was flawless. Every author brought their A- Game. Overall this was an amazing and eye opening read. I laughed, I cried and even got spooked along the way. Truly a masterpiece filled with talented authors. The overall theme of vengeance was done in such a tasteful manner that you rooted for the narrator no matter what. Some highlights during my read would be :Red Brick by Cynthia GómezBlood & Honor by Sam RichardBox of Teeth by John BaltisbergerAy, Carmela by J.V Gachs& the closin...

Splatterpunk isn't a genre that greatly appeals to me; I love horror fiction, but I'm rarely delighted by gore. Most rules result in exceptions, though, and ANTIFA SPLATTERPUNK seems to be one of mine. It turns out there's something immensely satisfying about a big horrible messy gross splatter when it's made up of fascist garbage, and this collection leans into that satisfaction as far as it can go.I'll admit that I'm the kind of coward who reads books like this with one hand in front of my fac...

Awesome, consistent anthology of stories about the psychology of fascism, and the physicality of punching their faces off their faces. The more supernatural stories appealed most to me, but Eric Raglin did an amazing job as always editing a collection of diverse and top notch stories, with bad guys whose getting stomped you have zero guilt about.

There is no single silver bullet to combat the ever-growing monstrosity of fascism in our midst, but editor Eric Raglin has offered a balm to these horrors with ANTIFA Splatterpunk. This anthology brings together a diverse and talented group of writers to deliver sixteen original antifascist stories guaranteed to ease the ache of living in this timeline.The tales told in ANTIFA Splatterpunk deliver a wide range of emotions from the chilling to the absurd, but no matter the tone, each of these st...

From right-wing influences in the Swedish black metal scene, to hidden bodies of a dictatorial regime somewhere in Spain, to remnants of the Third Reich in Latin America, to systemic brutality, bullying and violence of the police institution, to white supremacy in the US today, to a young girl who sees confederate ghosts – Antifa Splatterpunk consists of short stories about fascism in many facets and about people who stand or try to stand against it, embedded into great horror.I wish this were n...

What a fantastic book! A cathartic, gooey, collection of fash bashing tales that is perfect for everyone who loves splatterpunk with nary a dud in the bunch. I honestly hope they put together a second volume because I couldn't put this book down.

As is the case with all anthologies, I didn’t love every story. But this collection might be the first I’ve encountered in which I at least liked every single story. Each was unique, well-written, and satisfying in the way this anthology seems meant to be. I had a visceral, somatic reaction to each story in the collection, sometimes in uncomfortable ways. And that’s the point. That’s what made me keep reading, giddy to move on to the next story and the next exploding racist corpse. The next empo...

It's not like fascists are peopleA collection of stories with a pretty obvious theme!Here's my thoughts about each story on offer:- One of the Good Ones, or: It's a Gas! A group of violent cops decides to test a gas to solve the city's problems, more problems arise. A great way to start with a bleak and shamelessly violent tale about how far will a regime and its police force would go. And can a single, decent person make a difference? I really enjoyed this one, it gets relentless once the actio...

Let's be real: it's been a terrible last few years for many reasons. Full of anger and sadness and pent up emotion. There are many things in this world I have no control over and that's just a fact. But for once, reading about assholes getting their just deserts reminded me of why we keep fighting. And that there are good people out there ready and willing to help. All of these stories are powerful in a way I cannot articulate properly. But just know I feel revved up and ready to kick some ass

I loved this anthology. Every story was either very good or excellent. Instead of being overly invested in gross out tactics, the stories have actual depth and the writing shines.

With a street date of January 6, 2022, Antifa Splatterpunk releases on the one-year anniversary of Donald Trump's failed fascist, white supremacist coup attempt to overthrow the US government and replace our democracy with his brand of puerile, racist authoritarianism. In positioning this book for such a weighted day in recent American history, editor and contributor Eric Raglin incidentally finds himself doing far more to hold fascists accountable than the current American government that so re...

Awesome collection of stories. A good mix of splatter and psychological horror. One of the rare anthologies where there wasn't a single story that I didn't enjoy.

Much like many Americans, the rise of Donald Trump to the presidency made my worst nightmares of America come true. His rhetoric and policies have pushed the country’s Overton Window so far to the right that, even now with a Democratic president in the White House, the cruelty and barbarism of the Trump White House have become normalized. Christian theocrats have grown emboldened, and, as I write, the legitimization of racism, transphobia, and homophobia is being legislated and legalized in seve...

This is my first experience reading an Antifa themed horror anthology, and I am beyond impressed with the unique interpretations of the contributors. The writing within these pages is authentic and relatable as they expose important aspects of both historical atrocities and the politically toxic trends plaguing many aspects of today's society. They are graphic and visceral but, despite the splatterpunk theme, not simply displays of gore for gore's sake. These stories are unapologetic and importa...

This Book Kills Fascists...Violently and Creatively Antifa? What is it exactly? Is it a movement? A clandestine organization? A Boogeyman invoked by the right wing media? I must admit that when I hear the term I'm hazy on the true definition. Sometimes I hear it and I think of a bunch of protesters dressed in black with bandana covered faces, protesting in Portland or Berkeley. Other times I hear antifa and it brings to mind the root word, antifascism. And with the definition that that implies,

Yes, I'm the editor, and yes, I have a story in this anthology. But the book also includes brilliant words from sixteen other people, so I feel perfectly justified giving a five-star review. ANTIFA SPLATTERPUNK RULES!
