Brendan Vidito
Winner of The Wonderland Award for Best Collection 2019
Nightmares in Ecstasy is a collection of 13 stories of surreal body horror. In the narration, the line between eroticism and terror, desire and death, is blurred. Damaged souls hurtle, as if in a dream, toward mutilation, transformation, and fates worse than death. It is literary hardcore fiction for fans of David Cronenberg, Junji Ito, and Clive Barker.
Praise for the book:
"Surreal, grotesque, erotic. Brendan Vidito is a unique and disturbing new voice." (Wrath James White, author of If You Died Tomorrow, I Would Eat Your Corpse)
"Brendan Vidito is the bastard son of Clive Barker and his fresh take on body horror will f--k you up." (Jack Bantry, creator of Splatterpunk Zine and author of The Lucky Ones Died First)
"Vidito's words squirt shocking psychosexual bug juice into your brain's most private parts." (John Skipp, author of The Light at the End)
©2018 Clash Books (P)2020 Brendan ViditoThe performance is good overall. It's read a little fast for me, and I would have liked a slower pace to take in the content.
I have seen the stories described as body horror but this is probably a bit reductive. Body horror is present, as are some common themes in such work, but there is much more here. Some stories have surreal aspects for example, but they are all highly imaginative and full of intense imagery. These are serious stories with layered meaning and repeat reading/listening is rewarded.
Most striking is the fact that there are no weak stories here. I have personal preferences such as A feast of you. But each story is important.
I would also highly recommend 'Pornography for the end of the world', the authors second collection which once again is consistently excellent. I hope that this will also get an Audible release.
I personally would enjoy seeing a novel but these perfect little stories full of ideas are so satisfying. I hope more people find this powerful and important work.
Excellent collection of short fiction
