Sean M. Shitt - Night Of The Never Ending Nightmare (New Horror Library, 1988)

"In The tradition of The Fog and The Rats"

Blurb:
New from Sean M. Shitt, high priest of incessant, relentless, never-ending, endless horror ...
Night of the Never Ending Nightmare

In an exclusive private school students sexually assault and mutilate their teachers and then their faces melt off

At a seaside resort hundreds of lesbians gathering for a political conference sexually assault and mutilate each other. Then their faces melt off.

Somewhere off the Cornish coast ten thousand giant mutated lobsters with melting faces are massing, their clacking pincers harbingers of death, mutilation and sexual assault.

Or is it all a dream?
Or should that be a nightmare?
A never-ending nightmare.

That never ends.

Grateful thanks to honorary Vault bibliographer's Alexander Armstrong and Ben Miller for unearthing yet another previously unknown pseudonymous Spawn Horrible classic in their Armstrong & Miller Book (Sphere, 2010). Evidently the boys are closet paperback fanatics of the first order because not only do they provide cover scans and welcome information on the 'New revised illustrated edition' of the anonymous The Joy Of Sex With Fruit And Vegetables: A Gourmet's Guide To Love Making With Nature's Gifts, but also Barraclough Dave jnr.'s sci-fi masterclass The Omega Quadrant Of Haltwell-By Barrington, book two in the exciting Bellingham Chronicles.

One thing's certain, A&M are familiar with the territory. They've included a two page extract from Night Of The Never Ending Nightmare, the first an account of pigeon fancier Sydney Peabody's grisly death at the beaks and claws of his feathered friends, the second a super bad-sex interlude co-starring Olive and Bernie which I swear has its genesis in a scene from Guy N. Smith's Phobia!
