Advance praise for infernal tramps :

“A proper series of under-the-skin nightmare scenarios with stings in the tail. Elegant, gripping, and seriously strange.”
Stephen Gallagher ⬩ British Fantasy and International Horror Guild Awards Winner

“Alex Grass offers up a rotten polyglot of tales with Infernal Tramps, a bizarro blend of diatribes and dialectics that leave the reader feeling as if they've uncovered an apocalyptic religion or the mutterings of a madman. Or perhaps both.”
Clay McLeod Chapman⬩author of Devil Inside

“Infernal Tramps is a visceral collection of haunting stories, blending the uncanny with the mundane—disturbing and unsettling in the best possible ways.”
Richard Thomas ⬩ Bram Stoker and Shirley Jackson Awards Finalist

“Be careful when reading Infernal Tramps by Alex Grass. The experience is akin to a late-night bus ride, where the only seat available is at the very back, next to a ranting, raving stranger.”
Patrick Barb⬩author of Night of the Witch-Hunter and Abducted

“For lovers of the strange, the unsettling, and the terrifying: You will find your dark delights in this collection by Alex Grass!”
Eric J. Guignard⬩author of Doorways to the Deadeye and A Graveside Gallery

“Dark, weird and complex in all the best kind of ways, Infernal Tramps feels like a forbidden manuscript, something you maybe shouldn’t have read, but now lives burrowed inside you, gnawing. A must read for fans of unsettling horror.”
LCW Allingham⬩author of Muse

“Fans of classic weird tales as well as shows like Black Mirror will love the storylines, the imaginative what-ifs, monstrosities, and outrageous body horror.”
Ivy Grimes ⬩ author of Glass Stories and The Cellar Below the Cellar

“Easily one of the best collections I have ever read.”
Tasha Schiedel⬩contributor to Ginger Nuts of Horror

“The prose is impeccable, really, the weird feels genuinely weird, and the stories authentic.”
İnci Asena German ⬩ Protean Depravity

“Alex Grass’s writing is exquisite. It’s intelligent, crisp, provocative, and vivid, and the stories in his collection Infernal Tramps: Tales of Weird Terror are fantastic tales to thrill your mind and chill your bones.”
Bibliophilia Templum

“Blew me away. I flew through it.”
Liv Lowry ⬩ author of Pretty Dead Things

“The door never closes as we are drawn further and further into Grass’s panorama of twisted tales, each lush with unexpected prose, redolent with elements of Clive Barker, Margaret Atwood, and a smattering of Ray Bradbury.”
Jessica Burke & Anthony Burdge ⬩ authors of The Friendly Horror and Other Weird Tales

“This one hit just the right balance for me of weird, funny, kind of gross, and also sort of batshit insane.”
Jenny Ashford Ross ⬩ Tomes of Terror

“Ray Bradbury wants his absinthe back.”
Nicole Mann⬩author of Mindchoir

“Grass is a prose-master in his element, blending very real horror with artful description and color.”
Drew Starling⬩author of Sentinel

“A quick shot of pure, unadulterated dread straight to the dome.”
Emily Archuleta⬩author of Blood for Beer Money and Sludge

“Some of the weirdest short stories I’ve ever read.”
Simon F. Godin ⬩ author of In Their Eyes

“Apparently, my response to being horrified and slightly nauseous is to immediately demand more. I cannot wait to dive into the rest of Alex Grass’s books.”
C.J. Gray ⬩ author of Man-Eater

“Infernal Tramps is absolutely beautiful in its grotesqueness, and I simply couldn't get enough!”
Megan Diedericks ⬩ author of The Coffin Chronicles

“If disgust is a tool, Grass cracks it like a whip.”
Lana Valdez ⬩ author of I Rot

“I highly doubt you'll read a more bizarre collection of stories this year and I highly recommend it.”
Horror Reads

“Potent horror stories that provoke and repulse to astonishing effect.”
Kirkus Reviews

“Even in the shortest stories, every person feels real. Their fears and choices feel real.”
Nerdection

“Some of these stories contained the strangest things I’ve ever read. Truly, the definition of nightmare fuel.”
Rachel Strandberg ⬩ Rachel's Reading

“Think ‘Twilight Zone meets Hostel’.”
Amanda  ⬩ Goodreads

“Alex Grass’s brain is a casserole of gory, unsettling madness.”
The Rad Bookcase

“This is not plain mashed-potato horror. This is the weird dish at the table that you side-eye, taste anyway, and then keep eating while wondering if it is legal.”
Robin's Review

“What keeps the collection fresh for me is that so many of the stories seem rooted in recognizable real-life fears and failures. Loneliness, abuse, medical debt, policing, cosmetic surgery, cheating, toxic relationships, grief, addiction, guilt, and class resentment are all present, but they are twisted into something much darker and unsettling.”
Read & Filed

“If each one of Miss Peregrine’s peculiar children were short stories, not people, then they would feel at home in this eccentric, phantasmagorical collection.”
Llrâc Nôdbé ⬩ author of Scrivenery Collywobbles and CRULUS

“Infernal Tramps reads like a grindhouse film wrapped in theological snark. Grass throws broken, messy characters into a demonic conspiracy and lets the chaos unfold. It’s fast, weird, and often laugh‑out‑loud inappropriate, but underneath the gore there's a surprisingly thoughtful look at addiction, redemption, and what it means to claw your way out of the dark.”
Louise ⬩ BookSirens

“There is enough variety in this collection to surprise the most jaded gore-hound, while the author's tight grip on narrative and dialogue will even satisfy readers who are tentatively dipping their toes into bizarre fiction.”
Kent Lane ⬩ IndieReader

“What makes the book stand out is how unapologetically strange it is, it does not try to be polished or safe, but instead embraces chaos, body horror, and dark imagination in a way that feels almost feverish. The atmosphere across the stories feels heavy and claustrophobic, like stepping into nightmares that become harder to escape the deeper you go.”
Books With Khushi

“Each story explores the perils of vanity, the violence of vengeance, and the disturbing pangs of hunger—for justice, carnal satisfaction, and even human flesh.”
BookLife⬩Publishers Weekly

“The book is filled with unsettling situations, strange creatures, and brutal transformations that make each story feel unpredictable and unnerving. Readers who enjoy horror that is weird, graphic, and deeply uncomfortable will likely find a lot to appreciate here.”
Luke B ⬩ Reedsy Discovery

“Nothing feels predictable, you really never know where each story is going to take you, and that’s part of what makes it so fun to read.”
Booked In Ink

“Plunges readers into liminal regions where everyone is at least a little grotesque and a little guilty of something and any contact with a monster either kills you or makes you monstrous.”
-BlueInk Review

“The imagery is incredibly visceral and, in some stories, almost vomit-inducing.”
Ash’s Creepy Reads

“Don't read this collection if you have a fear of dogs.”
The Midnight Review
