A skeleton crew of desperate men looks to capitalize on a handsome reward offered by an eerie outsider. But when they brave the harsh winter waters to transport an ominous crate, their food supply mysteriously spoils, forcing them to stray off course. After several weeks of dead winds, absent sunlight, and diminishing rations the crew begins to question their faith and each other. As past lives of the crew are put on the chopping block, blood begins to spill. Has starvation driven them to delirium? Have they fallen out of the Lord's good graces?

Cee is the leader of the sinister establishment, but that hasn’t always been her story.

Rick Richardson was a writer. He was good, too, despite what the reviews might've said. They said his writing was bad, but Rick knew that wasn't true. He knew the real reason they didn't like his books was because of the content. You see, Rick wrote "splatterpunk"...it was understandable that people might be triggered by the graphic nature of his stories. But then again, that's what the trigger warnings were for.

Story
Springerville is famous for the legend of the Mongolian Monster. Of course nobody really believes it. It’s just a good campfire story, something to attract gullible tourists until an excavation team unearths the figurine of a screaming woman, the jawbone of a deformed animal, and a child’s toy. How odd that they were buried together. Odd, too, is the foul odor lingering in the air, the strange noises at night, and the man’s face found hanging from a tree. Now the locals are locking their doors. Because after sundown, campfire stories can seem very, very real.

Stay for the narration.
This definitely missed the mark and that’s unusual for PC3.
A tererible family goes to a haunted house and then get mandatorily invited back. Bad things happen.
Pros: neat uses of extreme/splatterpunk book titles, the first 25% of the book.
Cons: pretty much everything else.
BUT! The narration was perfection so kudos to the narrator for keeping me listening to the end.

Started strong
I absolutely loved the way this book started. It was creepy and eerie, and I thought, hmm, maybe PCH is taking a break from extreme! Let’s see where this goes.
I was wrong lol. It’s extreme.
There’s a significant amount of gore just to be disgusting, so if that’s your jam you’ll love it. I enjoyed the actual story line, but the SA and unnecessary gore were not enjoyable (for me).
I loved the use of Indie author books as characters in this story. I haven’t read all of the books mentioned, but I recognized all of the names. Very cool Easter Egg. The narration was on point and voiced expertly.

Narration on point
The narrator does a very good job bringing you into the story, his pacing is perfect and his different voices are believable. The story itself is very detailed and does flow well. I will admit I made it to the 1:38 mark. I like horror, I don't like misogyny, rape, torture porn or attempted suicide all within the first half of a book. If those are your things, enjoy!! If not, stay away.

Love thatPC3 is never afraid to push the boundaries and his version of a Halloween tale is no exception
Fright night always does a stellar job matching the right narrator with the story
If you enjoy splatter punk and are constantly looking for the most extreme like myself this is a no-brainer 5stars

I can’t really write a review because this book was utterly disgusting
I’m a bit embarrassed that i enjoyed it as much as I did ….
It was so repulsive it was really hard to put down 😂
DONT JUDGE!
That said If you are here reading this review it’s likely our names are on a list or NEED to be on a list somewhere 😂🤣

Make sure you have a strong stomach
This is some extreme stuff: sexual assault, body horror, necrophagy. Don’t listen after you’ve eaten. You’ve been warned.
The story is gross but strangely compelling. The Gibson family is “invited” to attend a haunted house called The Dark Side of Hell on Halloween night where they are subjected to incredible horrors and depravity that makes their own deep family problems pale in comparison. As you listen you can’t help but wonder what horrible things are going to happen next, so you keep going.
The characters are interesting, though I would have appreciated a little more depth. No one deserves the horrors visited upon them in this story, but I don’t feel like the characters really came to any realization or learned anything about themselves in the process of enduring the dark side of hell, Horror allows for self-examination and reflection even amidst body counts and gore. This is horror for the sake of horror, which is fine if that’s what you’re looking for.
The narrator does a good job of evoking the emotions in each character and upping the tensions on each scene. I have to admit that some of the voices he does add a darkly amusing air to the story, which works well I think.
Overall, a decent story but you really have to have a strong stomach to listen.

only for those with strong stomachs!
i really struggled to rate this. It's loaded with body mutilation, torture, extreme sex scenes, and overall just a lot. Normally, I'm alright with these things, but this time, it just seemed overly gratuitous... and there really was no reason other than to just be extreme? I honestly don't know if it's a me thing or not, and I don't want to impact this author negatively.
I think I would feel differently if I cared for any of the characters, but I didn't. I didn't connect with the story or the characters. They are literally all horrible. If that was the goal, then 10 of 10 nailed it.
The concept of the haunted house and the setting is something that I did enjoy about this particular story. I will still try another book from Harrison. And I truly feel that this book will resonate with other readers, I just think maybe it wasn't for me this time.
I did enjoy the narrator. He brought life to these horrid individuals, I think his voice was perfect for this book.

dark is right
Patrick C. Harrison III, PC3 from here on, has been on my radar for a while. He is probably best known for his more popular titles, 100% Match and Grandpappy. Or maybe even his volume in the Splatter Western series, A Savage Breed. I own all of these, impulse bought due to rave reviews in the splatter community. I received an Audible ARC of The Dark Side of Hell from Fright Night Audio, so that’s where my PC3 journey began.
I will start by saying that this is splatterpunk. As such, you can expect it to be loaded with vivid and graphic descriptions of gratuitous violence and vile, disgusting, and otherwise objectionable characters and situations. Don’t listen to this while you’re having dinner because you just might lose your appetite. You’ll understand when you get to the dinner scene.
This story begins with a family trip to a crappy haunted house called The Dark Side of Hell. None of the family really wants to be there, but the patriarch (Jim) is determined to spend some quality time with his wife and kids. On their way out, the old man running the place gives them tickets to return on Halloween. Jim accepts the tickets with no intention of ever returning. Their experience is completely underwhelming and they are happy to put this place in the rear view. However, the family soon finds they have no choice in the matter. One by one, they are kidnapped and brought back to The Dark Side of Hell. Each kidnapping is preceded by bloodshed. Jim’s affair partner is murdered. The old neighbor lady bites the bullet on the way to Mona (the mother). And the mission to extract Julian and Mamie from their school looks like a high casualty school shooting. The family returns to the haunted house battered and bloodied, but their injuries and humiliation are nothing compared to what Jack’s family has in store for them.
Let’s talk about the narration for a moment. Shrader Thomas is a new voice to me. I really enjoyed his performance. I appreciate narrators who can bring these levels of depravity to life without overdoing it. My only super minor nitpick is the way he pronounced Unbortion (unabortion). Otherwise solid narration.
This was a good read. It’s brutal and disgusting. It’s not your usual haunted house story in that there are no ghosts and all the violence is committed by humans, but it isn’t a humans are the real monsters story either. There is a supernatural element that plays its part in the background. Sure, there are some parts I didn’t love (wtf was that ending?!), and you don’t find yourself rooting for any of the characters except for maybe the daughter (until that ending anyway), but overall I liked it. I especially enjoyed the nods to his author friends in the form of naming characters after their books. Made my tbr just a little longer. If you like splatter and don’t mind if the story isn’t super fleshed out, you’ll love The Dark Side of Hell. Add this to your Halloween reading list.
