Let's be honest-you're sick of the training wheels.
You're exhausted by the sanitized, focus-grouped little nightmares served up in porcelain saucers by mainstream publishing. You're starving for something raw, something that leaves a copper taste of blood on the tongue and a predatory shadow lingering behind your eyes.
Good. Because Obsidian Skull Press is about to drag you face-first into the chaotic abyss.
Edited by macabre visionary TL Hutton and the very pulse of atmospheric dread, Devon Kutchlen, No Safewords in the Wasteland is not a book; it's an excavation of the polite, manicured rot hiding just beneath the veneer of modern society, exposing normalized bondages we polite-away over morning coffee.
There are no safe spaces in the modern world. And in this wasteland? There are certainly no safewords.
We've unleashed a fearless collective of literary alchemists to sift through the decay, and they've brought back seven terrifying tales.
Inside these pages, you will willingly surrender your sanity to:
Tim McDonald's brutal, razor-wire urban jungles, where systemic cruelty and ruthless border enforcement bleed into waking nightmares (Strays).
Cassandra Knightshade's suffocating, labyrinthine depths of psychological gaslighting and terminal isolation (Jaded Box).
Cody Creiger's unflinching, stomach-churning body horror, dragging historical depravity kicking and screaming into the light (Unbind Thy Tongue).
Rob McLaughlin's black-market witchcraft, where dark arts are forged not for parlor tricks, but in the desperate, bleeding need for raw justice (Our Lady of Holy Death).
And co-editor TL Hutton's twisted genius-tracking the perilous, breathless flight of shattered innocence (Down Beside the Rails), the toxic, bigoted roots choking the life out of communities (Blood & Rainbows), and the dizzying, blood-soaked highs of warped spiritual delusion (The Other Side of God).
Drop the safeword. Step past the border, open the box, cut away the tongue-and let the wasteland have you.Also in
