"SIGILS INCISED, A COMMUNION WITH THE BLADE A trio of young people stranded on an uncharted island discover its sickening secrets. A man contracts a degenerative disease through a webcam encounter. An office worker follows the object of his affection into a mysterious club where life, death, and anatomy have no limits. A reforming necrophiliac struggles to maintain the illusion of normalcy in a new relationship. A woman awakens with other captives in the basement of a madman using them to attract impossible prey. UNLOCK THE GATES OF FLESH, WORLDS WITHIN FLAYED A decade after the infamous Genital Grinder, Ryan Harding returns with ten more stories, collected for the first time--including the Splatterpunk Award-winning tales ""The Seacretor"" and ""Angelbait""--which plunder the depths of depravity and obsession, yielding offenses and transformations of the flesh never before seen or carved. His first solo work in years dissects its themes and characters alike in a sublime autopsy worthy of the hardcore horror pantheon. Even the vomitorium has its philosophy, and the keys to revelation are all serrated. EVERY JOURNEY BEGINS WITH A SINGLE SLICE... TRANSCENDENTAL MUTILATION"

Reviews for Transcendental Mutilation

"Nomination for for the 2024 Splatterpunk Awards in Best Collection category. ""Transcendental Mutilation is the pus covered, bloody, vomit-inducing, and savage heir to Harding's masterpiece, Genital Grinder. This collection is perfect for fans who have no boundaries and love well-crafted stories. While every story is amazing, 'Angelbait' will test the resolve of any hardcore fan."" --Daniel J. Volpe, Splatterpunk award nominated author of Left to You and Talia ""[Harding] is an absolute artisan of extreme horror....A definite must-read for hardcore, strong-stomached fans of the extreme ... and quite probably next year's Splatterpunk winner for Best Collection...--Christine Morgan, author of Lakehouse Infernal and Trench Mouth ""A literary Niagara Falls of irredeemably explicit violence.... This is top-of-the-line hardcore horror!"" --Edward Lee, Praise for The Night Stockers (co-written with Kristopher Triana) ""A total fucking blast and a must-read for fans of all the great 1980's slasher icons."" --Bryan Smith, author of The Killing Kind and Depraved, Praise for Reincarnage (co-written with Jason Taverner) ""From Splatterpunk master Ryan Harding, prepare for ten obscene tales containing: necrophiliacs, nudes, zombies, dendrophilia, and more. Transcendental Mutilation is brilliant, revolting, and the only collection you need to read in 2023."" --Christina Pfeiffer, Uncomfortably Dark ""Ryan Harding conjures the inner spirit of David Cronenberg as he exposes flesh enhancement and anatomical horrors."" --Mike Rankin, Horror Bookwork Reviews ""There is a level of depravity within this one that will either spark the dark side of your mind or send it screaming the other direction. Or perhaps both."" --Lisa Tee Tone, Bibliophilia Templum ""Think you're hardcore? Think again. If you've handled everything Edward Lee, Wrath James White, and Bryan Smith have thrown at you, then put on your rubber parka, spread some plastic across the floor, and get ready for Ryan Harding, the unsung master of hardcore horror. Abandon all hope, ye who enter here. Harding's work is like an acid bath, and pain has never been so sweet."" --Brian Keene, Praise for Genital Grinder"
