Christine Morgan is my Woman In Horror today! Christine writes about, zombies, games involving adult sexual situations, body modifications gone wrong, Bigfoot, spiders, gnomes, dragons, elves, dwarfs, alchemy, and more. In other words, try to find something she doesn't write about. Not an easy task.

Christine's Amazon bio:
Christine Morgan divides her writing time among many genres, from horror to historical, from superheroes to smut, anything in between and combinations thereof. She's a future crazy-cat-lady and a longtime gamer, who enjoys British television, cheesy action/disaster movies, cooking and crafts. Which latter two led a recent podcast to refer to her as "The Martha Stewart of extreme horror," so, make of that what you will!
Her short stories have appeared in dozens of anthologies, as well as the collections The Raven's Table (Viking-themed horror, with a companion volume due out in late 2020 or early 2021) and Dawn of the Living-Impaired And Other Messed Up Zombie Stories (zombies, obviously).
Her novels include the historical pioneer blizzard snow monstery White Death, the Edward Lee sequel Lakehouse Infernal, the totally trashy Spermjackers From Hell, the soon-to-be-rereleased Murder Girls, and others.
She also takes on editing and proofreading gigs, is a regular contributor to The Horror Fiction Review, has twice earned an Honorable Mention from Ellen Datlow in the Year's Best series, and been nominated in various categories of the Splatterpunk Awards.
Christine currently lives in Portland, Oregon, where she works the overnight shift in a residential psychiatric facility. She is always glad to hear from readers, as well as other authors (and hey, agents, publishers, movie people, it's all good!)

"Lakehouse Infernal is the coolest, ball-bustingest, most outrageous, and most ENTERTAINING horror novel you’re likely to find in a long time.” - Edward Lee author of CITY INFERNAL
Lake Misquamicus was an unremarkable lake in Florida, unremarkable that is until suddenly it was filled with six billion gallons of blood, bile, pus, piss, shit and ...things... directly from the pits of Hell. First the public was in shock, then the government built a wall, and as time passed it became another urban legend. But for some, it has become a travel destination. Spring-breakers, drug-runners, and religious nuts. But a weekend getaway on the shores of Hell, may not be the safest idea...
With an introduction by and officially endorsed by splatterpunk legend Edward Lee, LAKEHOUSE INFERNAL is an official entree in Lee's infamous INFERNAL series. Christine Morgan (SPERMJACKERS FROM HELL) expands on this universe with her own twist of hardcore horror tourism.
"Think Spring Break, only instead of a beach house, it’s a lakehouse, but the lakehouse IS IN FUCKIN’ HELL, that’s right, a chunk of Hell that’s been upheaved and pushed up into our pretty little world–sunny Florida, no less!” - Edward Lee

Full disclosure : Edward Lee's Inferno series is one of my all-time favorites . When I saw the preview notification that Ms. Morgan was releasing this I channeled Larry Tate from the old "Bewitched " TV series. "That's just crazy enough to work!" It does work. This book has all the world-building you could hope to find along with Morgan adding some deliciously sleazy characters along the way. Just a brilliant twist on a fabulous setting. Buy this. You will definitely be getting more than your money's worth.

Let’s summon a succubus, they said. It’ll be fun, they said…
I have some friends and we had a crazy idea: let’s summon a demon. Not just any demon but a sexy devil chick that will do anything we want—even butt stuff. It’ll be easy. It’s not like it’s going to work. Monsters aren’t real.
We were wrong. Really fucking wrong.
The demon is not what we thought and it’s making horrible things happen. People are cutting into each other's junk, some guy is fucking his dog, and sex slugs from Hell are raping us and stealing our semen in order to build a goddamn hive!
We didn’t mean for any of this. But we’re gonna fix it... Just after a few more beers and bong hits.
From Christine Morgan, author of Mythic Lust: the Minotaur, and The Raven’s Table: Viking Stories, comes a sleazy and deviant satire about sex, occultism, and nerd culture.

This book is NOT for the faint of heart!
A group of horndog pervy pals decide it would be fun to summon a succubus, believing that they'll get a hot naked demon chick with cute little bat wings. How wrong they were...
My favorite thing about this book is that it's one hell of an original twist on the Succubus trope. I love originality and this angle is so well done, so completely horrific and vile and just amazing that it has earned a place among my favorite books.
While this book is not really gory, there is no shortage of bodily fluids. It's gross. It's hilarious. There are these brilliant author interludes that add so much to the story... I couldn't put it down.
If you like Ed Lee. If you like laughing while feeling slightly queasy, if you like new takes on old tropes, this book is definitely for you!

Some things, according to Cody McCall, are worth risking a whipping. Such as, sneaking out with your friends after dark for a peek at the traveling show setting up just outside of town. Oddities, the signs promise. Marvels. Grotesqueries. Exotic attractions and mysterious magics.
Not as if they'd be allowed to attend otherwise, not with parents and preacher and schoolmarm all disapproving. But how often does a chance like this come along? There isn't much else by way of excitement in quiet, peaceful Silver River, a once-prosperous boom town slowly gone bust.
Worth risking a whipping, sure. Worth risking life and limb, and maybe more? Worth risking being ripped to pieces by ravenous, inhuman brutes? Worth crossing paths with those strange, silent cult-folk from the high valley? Worth all the fire and bloodshed and horror and death?
Because something far worse than any ordinary traveling show has come to town, and one thing is for certain: those who survive, if any, will never forget the night Silver River run red.
(All Splatter Western books are stand-alone stories. Read them in whatever order you please!)

My maternal grandfather was a big fan of Louis L'Amour and he had a massive assortment of paperback westerns when I was growing up. I developed a deep appreciation for those stories and others, as well as western movies and television as a whole.
The Night Silver River Run Red is absolutely not one of those westerns. Christine Morgan nails the language, the descriptions, and the tone of authentic western authors...but that is where the similarities end.
It starts off like a tale that could have been a Halloween-themed Laura Ingalls Wilder story from her Little House series. Kids in a rapidly depopulating town sneak out together at night to try and catch a glimpse of carnival attractions their puritanical parents oppose. The only element that wouldn't fit is the presence of a religious cult a short distance outside of town, but I didn't say it was a perfect comparison.
It doesn't feel like one of those stories for long anyhow. The violence erupts and any thought that this could have been a western story you might have read while growing up is dispelled quite rapidly and that sense of familiarity never returns...plus, there is a uniquely psychotic rapist named Horsecock in the book, so there's that.
I can only hope the other Splatter Westerns published by Death's Head Press are this good...because Christine Morgan expertly weaves her own brand of extreme horror and visceral violence into an almost perfect replica of the pulp westerns a lot of us know quite well.
This is the fourth of the books, but it had to be the first I read, just because of this particular author.

With her signature style of fusing horror and humor, Christine Morgan brings you the zombie collection you've been waiting for. From a televised debate-destined for disaster-between a zombie killing general and an advocate for the "Living-Impaired(which seems all too plausible)”, to an unlikely schoolyard romance that finds common cause experimenting on the dead, and all manner of ghoulish delights in between. Christine delivers all the blood and brains you could ask for in these nine tales risen from the grave!

I am really tired and bored with zombie stories. I avoid them like the plague. But I decided to read this based on the reputation of the publisher. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this. The author finds a way to approach the whole zombie thing from new angles. My favorite story in the collection is A Tower To The Sky. High marks to the author for being able to breathe new life into a genre that has been pounded into the ground.

No other author writes in the style Christine Morgan does. Christine Morgan is a true Woman In Horror!
