Thank you to NetGalley, Nikki Noir & S.C Mendes for this copy.

I wasn’t sure what to think right away but honestly the behind the scenes look at a horror cam girl was a really interesting read. It was such a short piece but the way you got a real feel for the relationship between Allendy/Molly and Selena was really cool. Even without the romance aspect the fact that Selena was such a good friend she would do anything to help Allendy/Molly and keep her safe was really sweet. I’m honestly glad at how the story turned out I still think that Chad got off too easy for the giant POS he was.

All in all I had a pocket full of emotions reading this short story/novella and enjoyed it quite a bit. Makes you think and wonder if anything like this has ever actually happened.

Allendy aka Molly Massacre is a camgirl on FANdom. With help from her best friend Selena, she devises a plan to leave her abusive boyfriend Chad.

“Hi guys! It's your ghoul, Molly Massacre, and this is a very special night for HorrorGasm.”

HorrorGasm features some interesting ideas and elements, and also some aspects that didn't quite work for me. First of all I love a good revenge story and I enjoyed the relationship between Allendy/Molly and her best friend Selena. The horror vibes were higher than the sexy vibes in this one, and that worked well with the writing.

However the character of Dylan fell flat for me. I wanted a bit more personality from him. The resolution of the plot in the end also left something to be desired. Besides these points I felt a little peeved by the author's assertion that a 24 year old is “still a child”. I say this not to dismiss a possible power dynamic, but it left me confused why the author would refer to a grown woman as a child. I also didn't enjoy the bipolar 'joke' in this short story.

The narration for this short story was okay. I wasn't a big fan of the narrator's voice itself, but they did a great job at providing each character with a distinct voice and injecting the emotions necessary to bring the story to life.

Overall these authors know how to write a good story with interesting characters, but I felt this wasn't their best work. Despite this I would recommend this story to people wanting to read about camgirl horror or a satisfying revenge story.

TW include, but are not limited to: infedility, body horror, death, drug use/abuse, addiction, confinement, gun violence, lesbophobia, toxic relationship, domestic abuse, rape adjacent imagery, ableism.

HorrorGasm is an indie short story from Nikki Noir's book Petite Mort. It's from a collection of horror/ erotic/ weird/ humorous short stories.

HorrorGasm is about Molly who performs in a horror inspired OnlyFans type website to generate an income for herself, her best friend and her druggy boyfriend. Molly and Serena want to cut out the toxic boyfriend and what follows is some original craziness that I won't spoil here. The story is amusing, gross, and bizarre, it could have been extended to become a novel all on It's own.

Thank you to Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this short story.

Nikki noirs special brand of sexually charged horror novellas have been so nuts and fun to read. I downloaded the audio and the casting was great. So ridiculous and random!
Thanks NetGalley for letting me read and review
