My Best Friend Monty by Marshall
Meet Tom: a rum-soaked, fiercely delusional misanthrope who is entirely convinced he’s a cunning criminal mastermind and a smooth-operating action star, when in reality he’s just a grimy, sleazy nuisance whose very existence gives the devil the chills.
The real horror isn't just the blood on the floor—it's having to live through it inside Tom’s rotting, hyper-narcissistic brain. Every petty grievance, every minor inconvenience like full-price coffee or neighbors tapping down the hall, triggers a blistering, unhinged rage that he views as high art. Between skulling rum, executing his warped vendettas, and withholding food from his dog, Monty, over sheer, vindictive spite, you’re trapped in the mind of a man who feels zero remorse.
Splatterpunk Noir blended with Absurdist Dark Comedy / Horror—reads like a fever dream driven by a deranged narcissist.
