Some of the authors for the Wrestle Maniacs anthology are familiar to me and you may recognize some of them yourself.
MY REVIEW
If you are a fan of wrestling or like twisted, convoluted tales that will tax your imagination, Wrestle Maniacs is for you. Some of the stories are sad, some are hilarious, and some are down right frightening. Twisted. Horrific. Every punishment you can imagine in the ring and many you never would have dreamt of, are contained herein.
Gabino Iglesias had me gagging and trying not to upchuck as I read his brutal, bloody story, El Neubo Sant’s Last Fight.
Adam Howe had me laughing my ass off, as Reggie, a shit magnet, finds himself in some of the most hilariously funny, yet dangerous situations in the book, in Rassle Hassle.
Gory, gross, disgusting and some seemingly normal stories, along with some horror, scifi, mystery, thrills and chills. Off the wall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of Wrestle Maniacs by Adam Howe & Company.
5 Stars
GOODREADS BLURB
A dozen dark fiction masters bring their twisted vision to the world of professional wrestling. Twelve original stories of crime, horror, humor, and taboo. Ohhh, yeahhh! This ain’t no kayfabe, baby. This is hard-hitting wrestling fiction that grips like a Camel Clutch, and pins the reader to the page for the count of one, two…THREE!
Includes a confrontational foreword by ring legend ‘Pulverizing’ Pat McCrunch (as told to Jeff Strand)… An all-new story starring Nick ‘The Widowmaker’ Bullman from James Newman’s wrestling noir, “Ugly as Sin”… And ex-boxer turned strip club bouncer Reggie Levine (“Tijuana Donkey Showdown,” “Damn Dirty Apes”) returns for another action-packed misadventure.

Wooooo!!!

LOL Sounds like some crazy bloody fun to me, Sherry! And I do spy some familiar authors.
A wild trip and I figured you would recognize some of the authors. I love off the wall books like this and who can resist some blood and gore? lol
Well that sounds seriously tempting and I’ve read a few of the authors so I know it’ll be good stuff! Thanks for the heads up.
Glad to know you are familiar with some of them too and that it sounds tempting…why not?
Not a fan of wrestling, but love that this had you laughing. Great review Sherry!
I love a lot of sports, but wrestling has never been one of them. I couldn’t resists Wrestle Maniacs because I know Adam Howe and Jason Parent can spin a great tale.
Sounds like something I’d like. I grew up watching wrestling with my Grandmother. We still watch it from time to time as it can be quite entertaining. Gotta grab some of this author’s books!
I love it, with your Grandma. lol Fabulous. Hope you enjoy them!
