Gorelets is a 64-pg chapbook collection of “sudden horror poetry”: 52 ultra short shockers by Michael Arnzen guaranteed to make you squirm! Originally written on (and for) handheld computers as part of a successful online experiment at Arnzen’s gorelets.com, each of these little “caplets of gore” pack a powerful punch. With titles like “Zombeanie Babies,” “Teasing the Cyborg,” “Brain Chunks,” and “The Embolism of Evil” you know you’re in for an unpleasant surprise. Published in 2003 by Fairwood Press. Simultaneously released in an “expanded” e-book edition in 2003 from Double-Dragon books. An extensive "Omnibus" edition was released by Raw Dog Screaming Press in 2012 to commemorate it's 10th anniversary. Praise 2003 Finalist for the Bram Stoker Award “Like one of those stubborn and painful scabs, only Arnzen could pull this one off. Served up with humor both vitreous and gut-wrenching, Gorelets delivers its tasty mind-morsels in palatable portions both raw and rare. If you haven’t tried one yet, grab a plate and dig in.” –Kurt Newton “Gorelets are a sign of horror’s rebirth.” –Pittsburgh City Paper
