Those Horny Devils!

SATANIC SUMMER by Andersen Prunty (2012 Grindhouse Press / 230 pp / tp)

Doug and Crank are total opposites: Doug's a young Christian trying to live a clean, church-going life while Crank is continually drunk, has sex with anything that moves, and plays guitar in a death metal band. But despite their differences, they're best friends who work in a convienience store in a small Kentucky town called Clover.

As gruesome murders begin, so do sightinigs of a large goat-like beast, and when Crank swears a member of a threesome he was involved with turned into the creature, everything in their isolated town comes into question.

Doug's strange neighbor, Whitney, returns after a stinit in a mental institution, yet is more in tune than anyone else with what's really going on at their local church...a church Doug seems to be the only one committed to.

SATANIC SUMMER is a wickedly fun riff on classic occultic horror novels, spiked with Prunty's brand of dry humor and more sex than your standard porn film. With monsters, redneck pyrotechnics, devil orgies, chain-smoking church moms, Satanic driving instructors, and one seriously horny policeman, this b-movie brought-to-the-page demands to be read in one sitting. Add a plus for a finale that's as hysterical as it is sex-tanically depraved.

Kudos to Matthew Revert's MERCYFUL FATE-meets-PORKY'S cover design that's absolutely perfect for what waits within.
