The Comfort Zone and Other Safe Spaces by Tom Over
“Tom Over’s The Comfort Zone is a panoply of body horror, technological mayhem, transgressive madness, and Apocalypse, saturated in gore, dark humour, and the warped psychology of this reality mutating all around us. One of the best debut collections and a must for readers who have been waiting for a horror/sci-fi hybrid somewhere between Cronenberg, Ballard, and Rob Bottin’s workshop.”
- Ryan Harding, Splatterpunk-Award winning author of Transcendental Mutilation
United StatesThe Comfort Zone And Other Safe Places
This collection takes us to that comfort zone on the trenches of chaos and horror. There is such talent behind these words and these things that lurk are unstoppable while you try and find your safe place, which may not be there after all.
Best of 2020 ☠️
Wow. I went into this sweet fat baby with a positive attitude. Tom was new to me, completely. But I wasn’t scared, as he’s a BAMF. You’re gonna find out why. I knew, seriously, by the middle of the third paragraph of the very first story, that Tom Over is truly someone very, very special. So very talented. Absolutely original. Massively creative, and told with such an economy of language, not a single word wasted or overused. This baby also contains my now ALL TIME FAVORITE short story of 2020, probably of all time really. Prepare yourself for “Phylum” trust me. Every tale was hand crafted and brewed with only the finest, all-natural ingredients. I loved this book. I love this book. These stories WILL release serotonin into your brain. It’s absolutely wonderful. 5/5 Skulls ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
