Surprise! In preparation for my novel Secret Basements that comes out on Godless at the end of this month and then Amazon mid-April, I have dropped a tasty little morsel of a novella called Baby Fights.
You read that correctly: Baby Fights.
I’d teased the cover in a previous newsletter, and here it is, available on Amazon in ebook, papaerback, and even Kindle Unlimited. So, what’s this story about, you ask?
Would you pay to watch babies fight to the death?
Only the wealthy and privileged have the kind of money that can pay for such vile entertainment. The first rule of Baby Fights is there are no rules. Babies can't follow rules. But with a certain persuasion they turn into rabid little monsters, and oh what a spectacle it is to see.
Two babies enter the ring. Only one comes out alive. The only rule of Baby Fights is that one must die. Always.
Would you pay to watch babies kill each other in the ring? Oh, you don't have that kind of money? Then open this book and read about it.
WARNING: This book is every bit as messed up as the title suggests!
“The horror and dread build dramatically from the start, which is fucked up, in a laughable way, but then it continues to get massively more fucked up and it’ll leave you shocked and screaming, guilt laughing, and wanting to take a bath in acid and bleach your eyes to erase the images that you’ve just conjured up, images that are all very lucid thanks to Robert’s descriptive prose!
This book made me feel all kinds of weird, the subject matter being what it is, one minute laughing, then feeling guilty, then being shocked and horrified and feeling utterly nauseous! But as well as a brutally bonkers baby fighting story, this also shows the power of a mother when she fears losing her child and the lengths she will go to to get him back. And as well as all the brutal savagery, and as horrific a tale as this is, the end result is extremely satisfying and cathartic!
An extremely dark, but horribly fun read, I loved it!” - No ReMorse Reviews
