About the Book
From the morally corrupt, yet oddly sweet, mind of Bridgett Nelson, the Splatterpunk Award-winning author of A Bouquet of Viscera & What the Fuck Was That?, comes a brand new tale of blood-spattered horror.
Bethany can't wait for the end of her hospital shift-four glorious days of relaxation await. Secretly, she's most excited about the fun-filled nights reveling in an unexpected flirtation with her co-worker, Michelle. Thoughts of her long, cozy weekend vanish, however, when Francisco Delgado is admitted to her floor from the emergency room. Delgado, a man who came into contact with an unknown arachnid species in South America, and who now has something...squirming...beneath his skin.
Initially a medical curiosity, the case rapidly turns into a full-on body horror nightmare...one with eight legs, a deadly set of fangs, and the ability to spread through the hospital at a terrifying pace. Trapped inside the building under a rifle-enforced quarantine, Bethany, Michelle, and the rest of the staff must do whatever it takes to survive the grisly night, defending their patients against an unstoppable menace...one who seeks out the weakest prey.
We're all red inside, and tonight the proof will be splashed all over the hospital corridors.
Bridgett Nelson's mother wonders when she will mend her wicked ways and write something nice.
Red Inside is not that book.
PRAISE FOR RED INSIDE: "Equal parts creepy, gory, and violent, Red Inside is a blast! Bridgett Nelson spins a brutal tale that will snare you into its inescapable web." - Jay Bower, author of Cadaverous and The Terror of Willow Falls
"Bridgett Nelson taps into her past experiences as an OR nurse and her love of extreme horror to give us a unique and bloody creature feature with her debut novella Red Inside. It's a fast-paced tale filled with gross and gruesome action that will leave the reader cringing and wanting more." -
Eric Butler, author of
The Pope Lick Massacre and
The Rest Stop "Nelson's debut novella is a bold blend of body horror, creature feature, and survival. The setting and plot are refreshing and unique, and she adeptly takes a popular, but under utilized, 'monster' and breathes a new life into it on the page. Red Inside is wild and creepy-crawly AF." -
Megan Stockton, author of
Lovely, Dark & Deep and
Bluejay "You'll find Red Inside and many more fluids as Bridgett Nelson calls a 'code grue' in the ER. It's maniacal creature carnage, and you won't want a cure!" -
Ryan Harding, Splatterpunk Award-winning author of
Transcendental Mutilation and
Genital Grinder "Can always trust a medical professional to crank up the hospital horror!" -
Christine Morgan, Splatterpunk Award-winning author of
Lakehouse Infernal "This book is insane! Grisly, furiously paced, and complete nightmare fuel. I feel unsafe now. Send help." -
Jeff Strand, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of
Demonic
