Wrath James White - The Ecstasy of Agony (signed)
Wrath James White turns his unflinching eye upon the gruesome, the violent, the tragic, and the erotic.
The heavyweight of hardcore horror returns with ten hard hitting new short stories and seven brutal epic poems exploring the darkest soul of humanity and the cruelty of life without pulling punches.
With an Introduction by Edward Lee
In the realms of extreme horror fiction, there are writers, and then there’s Wrath James White. Wrath plies the trade of hardcore horror with the expertise of an artisan; it’s a hard business, and extreme horror begs criticism far more than other sub-genres.
PRAISE FOR WRATH JAMES WHITE
“Wrath James White is the premiere author of hardcore horror. Period.”
- Edward Lee, author of The Big Head and Header
"Some of the ballsiest, most visceral fiction being written by anyone today."
-Thomas Tessier, author of Nightwalkers and Wicked Things
"Wrath James White has more to say than many of his contemporaries, and says it more eloquently. “
- Poppy Z. Brite, author of Lost Souls and Exquisite Corpse
“Without apologies, White tears through your emotions from sympathy to hate, humor to shock, blending everyday language and poetic imagery as his words wrap around your mind and cause you to pause and appreciate them…”
- HorrorWeb
“If Wrath doesn’t make you cringe, then you must be riding in the wrong end of a hearse.”
-Jack Ketchum, author of The Girl Next Door and Red
“Wrath is a warrior. He comes at you on the written page with the intent to overpower you, yet he rarely overwhelms. This carnage has purpose. There's little over-indulgence. His over-the-top cathartic bloodbaths are seldom pointless. Put bluntly, he isn't just going for the gross-out. Wrath is a philosopher, and he loves to flaunt his technique and sense of limitless ethics in each of his tales. He has wit and intelligence and utter ruthlessness…”
