Ryan Harding

Something is terrifying the residents of St. Luke's Orphanage. Gurgling moans echo through the hallways. Hulking shapes lurk in the surrounding woods. And each morning, one less child wakes up in their bed... Brandon and his girlfriend, Jillian, refuse to believe his younger brother has simply been "adopted." The caretakers at St. Luke's insist he's safe, but Brandon has his doubts. With the help of a friend and a mysterious guide, they'll do whatever it takes to uncover the truth lurking inside the orphanage walls... and in the darkness beneath the basement stairs. But what they find below isn't just a secret-it's something that should have never been disturbed. From Splatterpunk Award-Winning author Wesley Southard and Splatterpunk Award-Nominated author Lucas Mangum, with an introduction by Ryan Harding, comes The Final Gate-the ultimate tribute to Italian horror master Lucio Fulci. Packed with blood, guts, and all the nightmarish madness you'd expect from the Godfather of Gore himself, Southard and Mangum deliver a love letter to spaghetti splatter and the unrelenting terror of 1980s Euro horror. This Special "Seven Doors" Edition celebrates the EP The Final Gate, inspired by Mangum and Southard's visceral homage to Fulci. This edition includes a foreword by Ryan Wills-the sole writer and instrumentalist of Seven Doors-along with new introductions from Lucas Mangum and Wesley Southard.

An office worker follows the object of his affection into a mysterious club where life, death, and anatomy have no limits. A reforming necrophiliac struggles to maintain the illusion of normalcy in a new relationship. A woman awakens with other captives in the basement of a madman using them to attract impossible prey. UNLOCK THE GATES OF FLESH, WORLDS WITHIN FLAYED A decade after the infamous Genital Grinder, Ryan Harding returns with ten more stories, collected for the first time--including the Splatterpunk Award-winning tales "The Seacretor" and "Angelbait"--which plunder the depths of depravity and obsession, yielding offenses and transformations of the flesh never before seen or carved. His first solo work in years dissects its themes and characters alike in a sublime autopsy worthy of the hardcore horror pantheon. Even the vomitorium has its philosophy, and the keys to revelation are all serrated. EVERY JOURNEY BEGINS WITH A SINGLE SLICE... TRANSCENDENTAL MUTILATION

YOU THOUGHT IT WAS OVEREleven people awaken in an abandoned motel. Transported from all over the United States, they have no memory of the journey and no idea where they are or why anyone would take them. Then they find the blood…and the heads mounted on stakes. IT’S NOT OVERThirty years ago in the town of Morgan, a Vietnam vet embarked on a killing spree that ultimately cost him his life. Then he resurrected to do it again. And again. And again. Morgan has since been evacuated by the government and enclosed by walls thirty feet high to contain the inhuman slayer known as Agent Orange. HE CAME BACKNow confined to his hunting grounds, the abducted must survive the Kill Zone, where Agent Orange has traps and weapons stashed all around, an almost omniscient ability to stalk, and lifetimes to perfect the art of butchery with an endless canvas of human flesh. From Ryan Harding, Jason Taverner, and Death’s Head Press comes the debut of the most brutal slasher icon, with new bonus chapters, a much higher body count, and more gore than all the Friday the 13th movies combined. For him, death was just the beginning…REINCARNAGE: MAXIMUM CARNAGE

In 1996, the undead killer known as Agent Orange escaped the confines of the walled-off town of Morgan for what became known as the Sandalwood Slaughter. In response, the government evacuated Sandalwood and expanded the wall around it. Access to the so-called Kill Zone is forbidden...but not impossibleTHE BODY COUNT CONTINUES... Twenty years later, Prowlers like Evan guide small groups into the mysterious territory. He agrees to take a fellow Sandalwood exile back to their lost home, but they won't be alone for long. Five college students are also attempting a dangerous challenge known as the Gauntlet. When their paths cross with a desperate group exploiting Morgan's unnatural phenomena for a miracle cure, all their objectives will become the same: Survive the inhuman slayer always on the hunt for heads to mount in his domain. Six years after Reincarnage comes the standalone, hyperviolent follow-up from Ryan Harding(Genital Grinder, Pandemonium, The Night Stockers) and Jason Taverner (The Dunbar Effect). Greater suspense, higher stakes, and a massive gore quotient befitting the trap-and-kill mayhem of the newest slasher icon. He knows they're inside, there's nowhere he won't find them, and there's no death that wouls pass with an R rating. The only way to exit is going piece by piece... REINCURSION

Attention shoppers The employees of the Freshway grocery store aren't too happy about having to do an overnight shift, but they're about to be even unhappier. Their rival store, Devil's Food, is about to lay siege upon them with extreme prejudice. This is no ordinary grocery chain. Devil's Food is run by a cult of murderous Satanists committed to killing the competition-literally. Armed with hatchets, knives, maces and motorcycles, they enter the store and start picking off their victims in the most ghastly and depraved ways possible. The Freshway's only chance of survival is to fight, and this leads to a bloody battle royal of crazed cashiers, knife-wielding demo ladies, brutal butchers, and teenage clerks determined to make their favorite death metal albums come true. The Night Stockers is a gory horror comedy by Splatterpunk Award-Winning authors Kristopher Triana and Ryan Harding, the men who brought you Full Brutal and Genital Grinder. Filled with bone-crushing carnage and the heaviest metal, this one promises customer satisfaction.

From Ryan Harding (author of Genital Grinder) and Lucas Mangum (author of Saint Sadist) comes quite possibly the bloodiest novel ever written: PANDEMONIUM A stranger in a mask walks through Philadelphia, handing out tickets to an underground wrestling show promising a level of violence unlike anything fans have seen before. The card features a mix of legends and hot up-and-comers. Most intriguing, it will mark the debut of the enigmatic, hammer-wielding Crimson Executioner, a monster of a man whose promo videos look like something out of Saw or Hostel. The crowd enters past masked guards who don’t speak. Even the talent doesn’t know who funded the show or why; they’re happy just so long as the checks clear. None of them know the diabolical plot behind it all. When the Executioner murders his opponent in the ring, it soon becomes clear the show is a ritual to open the gates of Hell and unleash PANDEMONIUM. Demons rise throughout the venue, using the bodies of the dead as vessels to wreak all manner of brutal carnage. Audience members and performers alike must now fight for survival as the contagion spreads all around them, inside the arena and out into the city. In the tradition of Dario Argento’s Demons franchise and set in the world of hardcore wrestling, PANDEMONIUM is a hyper-violent tale of demonic possession, ancient evil gods, and bleeding the hard way
