Bullet Tooth - Grant Wamack - Bog

"With Bullet Tooth, Grant Wamack has created a horror icon for our time. Unlike Freddy and Jason who commit their violent acts with their own two hands, the titular antagonist gorges himself on the violence he encourages in people just like us. The classical sensibilities that made those previous texts work are fully intact here too, but Grant brilliantly reinterprets them for our new dark age in a voice uniquely his. If you like cursed media, iconic horror villains, or urban legends, this book is an absolute must-read." - Lucas Mangum, author of Gods of the Dark Web and BladejobThe latest cult classic from Wonderland award nominee Grant Wamack is a high-octane, hyperviolent mash-up of analog horror, crime, and cutting social commentary highlighting a part of Chicago that's notorious for making headlines.

He unwittingly summons Bullet Tooth, an entity with an insatiable hunger for chaos and violence with an enigmatic VHS tape found inside a dumpster.The polar vortex of violence brewing inside the heart of Chicago sucks two others into its gaping mouth: A Palestinian orphan/fashion influencer with a love for deadly weapons and a gangster/ex-boxer who equips people with the finest artillery.How long can these three Chicagoans survive before they succumb to the seductive song of Bullet Tooth?"Wamack's prose is immersive in its authenticity, bringing the streets of the 'Raq to the pages of this book. Vengeance and violence, gangs and guns, load up your extendos and hundred-round drums and join me in songs of praise for Bullet Tooth." -David Simmons, author of Ghosts of East Baltimore
