Strictly Chainsaw Pyschos
By Stewart King
When you’re a dancing celebrity…everyone wants a piece of you.
Cult writer Stewart King is back with a gory novella that takes a buzzing chainsaw to a format that is long overdue a good carve up.
Jimmy Hooper’s is a D-List celebrity with a one-way ticket to the Z-List. He has one last shot at redemption: a slot on the nation’s favourite ballroom dance-off show.
But his degenerated, hedonistic lifestyle means he is about to blow even that. After a series of terrible, clumsy performances he’s a whisker away from being voted out by the viewers.
Then one day after rehearsals Jimmy awakes chained up in a cellar – at the mercy of people he hoped he’d never meet. The public.
And it’s not long before he realises their adulation is about to go to extreme lengths.
STRICTLY CHAINSAW PSYCHOS is a horrror mashup that examines the shelf life of a has-been as well as shining a light on the people who exert control over celebrities by phoning into TV talent shows.
It’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre meets House Of Wax meets Frankenstein via a two step dance of death.
After the success of X FACTOR ZOMBIE MASSACRE and BLOODBATH ON THE TITANIC Stewart King is establishing a reputation for delivering short concentrated bursts of downloadable hyper gory horror that not only tick all the boxes for fans of the genre but also comments on contemporary cultural phenomena.
Stewart King’s horror novellas have been widely praised:
“X Factor Zombie Massacre is a quick and short run through a twisted landscape of death and pop culture. Stewart King pokes some fun at the phenomena surrounding quick fame, while literally tearing it apart limb by limb. Since it is a novella, there aren’t any slow scenes, so we breeze right through the story. I liked X Factor Zombie Massacre and definitely recommend it to you guys.” – Zombie Acres
