I Will Change the World . . . One Intestine at a Time, Plumfukt Press, July 2022
Organs, excretions, and severed limbs play a bleeding role in Douglas J. Ogurek’s inaugural collection. These unabashedly over-the-top stories merge horror and bizarro elements while remaining true to the unsplatterpunk subgenre’s focus on a positive message. As you peel and squelch your way through these vile contents, be prepared to lose your lunch and learn a lesson . . . one intestine at a time. |
See Mar Garcia’s video review of I Will Change the World . . . One Intestine at a Time.
