Patrick Kill’s entire back catalog of published works, which has been offline and pulled from distribution for more than a year, will once again be available through GrimTales beginning in September 2025 with the release of the 3 Tales Trilogy. All three virtual chapbooks will be released in the new 3D Web book format, which features full text and audio.
Available September 1st: 3 HARD TALES
3 Hard Tales, Book 1 in the ‘3 Tales Trilogy’ from Patrick Kill: The Patron Saint of Degenerate Fiction
Patrick Kill doesn’t just cross lines—he gleefully body-slams them, burns the remains, and then throws a middle finger to polite society. Specializing in what could best be described as absurdist splatter satire, Kill occupies a rare and feral corner of dark fiction where the grotesque, the obscene, and the brutally hilarious meet in a blood-soaked handshake. His stories, like those in 3 Hard Tales, are radioactive with unfiltered rage, bodily horror, sexual chaos, and socio-religious mockery—yet told with such precision, dark wit, and momentum that even the most shocked reader can’t look away.
Kill’s work is unapologetically offensive, purposefully crude, and yet intellectually subversive in how it exposes the rot at the core of modern life: the suffocating banality of the workplace, the cartoonish idiocy of American masculinity, the plastic holiness of religious hypocrisy, and the toxicity (both literal and figurative) of post-industrial culture. His fiction is not for everyone—nor does it try to be. His ideal reader is someone who’s already chewed through Palahniuk, Dennis Cooper, and early Bret Easton Ellis, and is still hungry for something rawer, meaner, and far more perverse.
While the literary establishment might flinch at Kill’s name, he belongs firmly within the tradition of transgressive fiction. His work echoes the irreverent surrealism of William Burroughs and the punk nihilism of early zines, updated for the reality-TV, opioid-plagued, late-capitalist hellscape we currently call home.
In short, Patrick Kill writes for the damned, the disillusioned, and the dangerously amused. If you’ve ever laughed at something you knew you shouldn’t—or felt seen by a monster—you’ve already stepped into his world.
Available September 15th: 3 SICK TALES
3 Sick Tales by Patrick Kill is a blackly comedic descent into the grotesque, the deranged, and the disturbingly hilarious. In this trio of twisted short stories, Kill weaponizes satire, body horror, and transgressive absurdity to create a reading experience that’s as unsettling as it is addictive.
In “Sick Day,” Francis just wants to call in sick—but his symptoms are far from ordinary. A demonic stomach parasite, a malfunctioning exorcism hotline, and a smart-mouthed Chihuahua make for a hilariously horrifying unraveling of mind and body. Is it possession… or just a really bad case of indigestion?
“Twins” follows Nathan, a man trapped in the nightmare of new fatherhood with a delusional partner who insists she’s had twins—even though only one baby was delivered. The second “child” may not have a heartbeat, but Jenny swaddles and nurses it anyway… and Nathan’s sanity begins to fracture as his family grows ever more surreal.
Finally, “Infidelity” takes marital distrust to divine levels. When a husband catches his wife levitating during an invisible tryst, he learns she’s been seduced by none other than God Himself. What follows is a profane spiral into sexual madness, holy vengeance, and a child that may—or may not—be the Second Coming.
Equal parts hilarious, offensive, and deeply disturbing, 3 Sick Tales is for readers who enjoy their horror splattered with dark humor and their morality lines fully erased. This is unapologetic, no-holds-barred horror for those with strong stomachs and even darker senses of humor. Dare to read it—and laugh through the screaming.
Available September 29th: 3 TALL TALES
3 Tall Tales is a delirious descent into the warped mind of Patrick Kill, where the absurd meets the macabre and childhood innocence is twisted beyond recognition. In this trio of outrageous, grotesquely funny horror stories, the author gleefully blurs the line between satire and shock, offering readers a genre-bending ride they won’t forget.
In “The Magic Cupboard,” a young boy discovers a piece of enchanted furniture that brings his toys—and much worse—to life. From Barbie and Ken’s depraved bedroom antics to the Grim Reaper terrorizing the family cat, Andy’s new favorite toy may just destroy everyone around him…unless he flushes it first.
“Tall Tail” follows two brothers who discover roadkill with a suspiciously fluffy tail—and that’s only the beginning. When the tail detaches, slithers up one brother’s shorts, and takes up permanent residence where the sun doesn’t shine, the story veers into outlandish bodily horror with a punchline that will leave you howling… or gagging.
Finally, “The Giant Man” takes a bizarrely romantic turn as a lonely woman falls in love with a gentle forest giant. But as her sexual obsession grows, she takes drastic measures to consummate their impossible relationship—unleashing a horde of monstrous consequences in the most twisted climax you’ve ever read.
Sharply written, shamelessly perverse, and darkly comedic, 3 Tall Tales is a masterclass in uncomfortable laughter and taboo-breaking horror. Fans of cult classics like Eraserhead, Troma films, or Chuck Palahniuk will find themselves right at home in Kill’s disturbing universe.
If you like your horror weird, filthy, and funny—look no further.
