With his over-the-top personality intact and the clock on his decomposing body ticking, “The Headbanger from Hell” vows to teach the residents of Red Hill the meaning of true fear.
THE AUTHOR
Johnny Gruesome is the second novel from author and filmmaker Gregory Lamberson. His first effort, Personal Demons, won critical acclaim and the Anubis Award for Horror.
His feature film directorial debut, Slime City, is considered a cult classic. He also wrote and directedUndying Love (released on VHS as New York Vampire, much to his chagrin) and Naked Fear, and worked on I Was a Teenage Zombie, Plutonium Baby,West New York, and Frank Henenlotter’s Brain Damage.
Johnny Gruesome was born for the 42nd Street grind houses and rural drive-in theatres. Lamberson calls the novel “a valentine to the fans of blood soaked splatter films from the 1980s.”
"Johnny Gruesome' is a rarity: bright and clever descriptions, an elusive sense of humor, and high-level pacing. I wish I had written it."
--Herschell Gordon Lewis, 'The Godfather of Gore': Blood Feast and 2,000 Maniacs.
"Johnny Gruesome has a frightening sense of detail that makes it all the more horrific -- it's a gruesome ride that you can't stop reading."
--Gunnar Hansen, "Leatherface" in the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre
