Description
They’ve never been close, but now they have to live together—and it gets more difficult when one discovers a strange creature, vomited from the body of a dead cat. A creature that eats human pain. It feels good: too good. Soon he wants to hurt himself more, just so the pain can be taken away. But the more the creature becomes a part of his life, the more he damages everything around him. Some wounds are too deep to ever heal.
Advance Praise
"What if the horror boom of the 1980s had instead exploded during the age of emo? Everybody you know would be reading and re-reading The Pain Eater. A dark slow burn of a novel." —Nick Mamatas, author of The Second Shooter and I am Providence
"Absurd, grim, and wonderfully unique, Kyle Muntz's The Pain Eater is an exceptional read from a new and distinct voice in horror." —Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke
“There’s a melodic beat to Muntz’s writing, terse descriptions of events interspersed with sudden bursts of graphic visuals. It’s a delicate balance, but one he masterfully navigates.” —Peter Tieryas, author of Mecha Samurai Empire
“Here is prose of a high poetic intensity working in the service of a dark and cool vision… disturbing and enthralling in equal parts.” —Rhys Hughes, author of A Universal History of Infamy
“Playful and painful and surreally real, and great fun to read.” —Brian Evenson, author of Song for the Unraveling of the World
