Fatso: A Splatterpunk Novella

By John Monsees

Priscilla Dobbs is 400 pounds of invisible rage. Until she decides to become inescapable.

For decades, Priscilla's world has been a cycle of frozen dinners, graveyard shifts, and the casual cruelty of a society that treats her like a walking punchline. She is the woman people film for social media mockery, the "problem" social workers try to solve, and the invisible shadow caring for her schizophrenic aunt.

But a routine trip to the grocery store changes everything. When a teenage cashier's smirk lasts a second too long, the dam finally breaks.

Priscilla discovers that violence is the only language the world truly hears-and that revenge is a dish best served raw. As she carves a path of carnage through those who mocked her, Priscilla doesn't just find her voice; she finds an appetite that can never be sated.

FATSO is an unflinching odyssey into the "unpalatable feminine." It is a splatterpunk nightmare that transforms the marginalized body into an instrument of terror.

Part social satire, part cannibalistic revenge fantasy, this is a story for those who like their horror messy, mean, and disturbing.

Not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach. Contains graphic violence, cannibalism, and scenes that will make you think twice about every cruel word you've ever spoken.

Author's note: The current version has been slightly edited to remove an inconsistency and correct a few typos. FATSO is a story I've been carrying around in my head for decades and finally wrote over three long days, and I deeply appreciate the generally positive reactions from those who've read it.
