Much Too Vulgar

"A brash, unapologetic, and often funny novel with a delightful nasty streak. I enjoyed the hell out of this one."-Ronald Malfi, bestselling author of Small Town Horror Disturbed pre-med student Keely Rexroth is unable to take 'no' for an answer when she is denied entry into a prestigious research program. As her ambition curdles into dark mania, she embarks on her own curriculum of twisted experimentation, fighting to keep her secrets from a campus priest who is too perceptive for his own good. If she can't get what she deserves on her own merit, she'll eliminate her competition. This horror-thriller is a chilling mix of dark academia, psychological terror, gallows humor, and revenge fantasy that is perfect for fans of Gone Girl, Maeve Fly, Darkly Dreaming Dexter, and You. "Viggy Parr Hampton's Much Too Vulgar crackles with deftly crafted motives, intensely high stakes, and characters as sharply written as the scalpels they wield. Add to this a dose of black humor on par with Brett Easton Ellis and you've got yourself a horror novel you will not want to miss." -Christa Carmen, Bram Stoker Award-winning and Shirley Jackson Award-nominated author of The Daughters of Block Island "Much Too Vulgar is a delightfully fun roller-coaster ride through a depraved mind. Never before have I rooted so hard for the villain to come out on top! Viggy Parr Hampton has such an incredible way of painting a vivid world filled with characters you love to hate and hate to love. This was a fast-paced page turner that I couldn't put down! It crawled itself into my mind with each new word I read and it sits there still, well after I've finished. I can't recommend this book enough! It's so good!"-Angel Van Atta, author of In The Tall Trees "Move over Dexter. Meet Keely. Part thriller, part savage satirical takedown of pre-med academia, Much Too Vulgar is rich with comedic terror. Viggy writes with a razor-sharp wit that would leave Carl Hiaasen's jaw on the floor. I haven't had this much fun following a character since Jeff Lindsay's Darkly Dreaming Dexter. This is going to be the year's can't miss hit." -Gage Greenwood, author of Bunker Dogs
