PURE EVIL - Now Available for Preorder

New Year's evil has come.

Welcome to 2025. Already this year seems out to prove itself worthy of the evil decade we’ve been living in the past four years. I think we’re in for a real doozy! But while reality’s evils are upsetting, those of us who love horror find solace in the black folds of evil fiction. This form of darkness forever calls us, and we are all too happy to succumb to it.

As a purveyor of horror fiction, it is my duty—and pleasure—to provide such evil to the horror-hungry masses. So in the spirit of New Year’s evil, I’m releasing a special collection that gathers the vilest short fiction from the past decade of my writing career, some of which have been long out of print while others have never been published before.

That book is aptly named Pure Evil.

Preorders are now live for the signed hardback edition. As my loyal newsletter readers, I’m giving you all the first notice about it! This book is exclusive to my website and is not available elsewhere.

You can buy the book on it’s own, but there is also a limited bundle option which comes with a t-shirt of the disturbing “tentacle girl” artwork that made such a splash when I revealed the cover. Both options come with a bookmark, button, and stickers.

Pure Evil is not for the lighthearted horror reader. Those who prefer quiet horror are hereby warned! This book is for those who like their fiction dark and bloody, stories that do not flinch when it comes to breaking taboos, bursting with gore, and offending the gods. Fans of Full Brutal, Toxic Love, and Body Art are going to devour this one. The book is so extreme, in fact, that I’ve decide not to sell it on Amazon or through conventional booksellers. Pure Evil’s content (along with its grotesque illustrations) run too much of a risk of getting flagged and banned. As I mentioned earlier, this twisted tome is exclusive to my Trianahorror website.

None of the stories in Pure Evil have been collected in a single volume before, so you won’t find them in my other collections Blood Relations and Growing Dark. While not in chronological order, the variety of tales gives the reader an arching view of my sickest stuff from 2013-2023. There are early stories like the serial killer tale “Dead End” and the snuff romance “The Devouring”, as well as more recent ones like the perverted paradise of “Live Nude Horror” and the techno nightmare of “The Deepest Fake.” It even includes “The Bitch”, a novelette so vile I almost didn’t reprint it. But wanting this volume to not hold back on my most repulsive fiction, it is included here in Pure Evil, being republished for the last time. The book also includes a brand-new introduction I wrote just for this release. As mentioned above, as well as four uncensored illustrations by Nick Justus.

Below is the complete list of stories included.

Hammer Time

Goddess of Gallows

Snowblind

The Deepest Fake

Pictures of a Princess: A Fable

Bloody Mattress Blues

The Bitch

I hope you’re ready to start the new year with splatterpunk horrors. It brings a sick grin to my face knowing this hellish collection awaits you.

Brace yourselves. Pure Evil is coming to your home.

Until the darkness falls, stay evil!

Your pal,

Kris
