5 Reasons You Should Not Overlook Jack Bantry's The Lucky Ones Died First...No. 2 will blow your mind!


5 Reasons You Should Not Overlook Jack Bantry's The Lucky Ones Died First...


5 Jack Bantry knows his Splatterpunk so it's no surprise to find that he is as capable of writing it as those he publishes in his well-loved homage to the genre, The Splatterpunk Zine. Bantry does not hide his love for the cheesy sex and gore-soaked horrors of the splatterpunk heyday and readers will feel like they have settled in with an old friend.

4 Bigfoot! Before you try arguing that Bigfoot is boring, I can assure that this beast is not typical of the common Bigfoot "found" in the wild. Bantry's Squatch won't be seen hiding behind trees or strolling across a meadow in search of cover. This Bigfoot has a taste for blood and is not shy so there is plenty of photo ops for the budding cryptozoologist in the seconds before they get torn limb from limb... or worse. There is a reason for the title, after all.

3 Deadite Press. For those who may not be familiar, Deadite Press is the home of some of the best hardcore horror available. Brian Keene, Wrath James White, Robert Devereaux, and Monica J. O'Rourke are just a handful of the great authors found under the Deadite imprint so buy with confidence because Bantry belongs here.

2 Nazi Bigfoot hunter! The only thing keeping the people of Hambleton alive! Some will thank him, some won't. It kind of depends on what the Squatch did to them. 

1 Bantry does not mess around. He jumps into the action and uses short chapters to his advantage to keep the addictive pace. His passion for the genre bleeds through his writing and readers will take note. Be prepared to read this in one sitting.
