Collected from across the nation, over thirty writers, film critics, academics, artists, filmmakers and editors tackle the complete film oeuvre of action star Jean-Claude Van Damme. The Muscles from Brussels has been a beloved fixture in action cinema for four decades... that mullet notwithstanding. Loved or hated, JCVD has always been regarded as the nicest butt-kicker in the business and wholly self aware of his cult film status - and exactly how he got there. If the Kumite couldn't stop him, or all of those groin-wrenching splits, is there any force on the planet that could impede the sultan of spin kicks? In examining JCVD's films, maybe this eclectic group of professionals can answer those nagging questions. Regardless, whenever you run into Jean-Claude Van Damme in an alley, lit or otherwise, prepare for the... Bloodspurt.

The birth of evil… In 2017, Splatterpunk masters Bentley Little, John Skipp, Jack Ketchum, and Edward Lee collaborated on an extreme horror anthology that became Blood Bound Books' largest and best-selling collection. With cover art reminiscent of a 90's Slayer T-shirt by Andrej Bartolovic, D.O.A. features twenty-eight stories filled with offensive, repulsive, and disturbing content. This anthology is like an underground mix tape of your favorite death metal bands—raw, gritty, and the start of something epic. WARNING: This collection contains graphic depictions of violence, sexual depravity, self-degradation, and other dark subjects taken to an extreme. If consumed, consult a mortician. *Blood Bound Books does not endorse the actions depicted in these stories. Critics note that large anthologies often struggle with consistency, but the 28 tales in D.O.A. maintain fast-paced prose, unrelenting gore, and intense themes. This anthology secured 5th place in the Preditors & Editors Poll for best anthology of 2011. Readers will encounter disturbing interests shared by two men in the Philippines and discover the true location of the soul, traveling from plague-ridden ships off England's coast to the vicious barrios of Mexico. This book is not for the easily sickened or offended—consider yourself warned.
