Award Winning Horror Author Nicole Cushing’s “Controversial & Shocking” Novella Comes To Kickstarter


“I don’t mind nightmares. Nightmares are research.” –Nicole Cushing

Earlier this year Nicole Cushing turned heads at the Bram Stoker Awards with Mr. Suicide, a novel about a teenager's descent into madness and degeneracy. Praised by the likes of Jack Ketchum, Poppy Z. Brite and Thomas Ligotti, Cushing’s work is notable for how it leans toward the extreme side of horror, yet never descends into the realm of blatant gore or cheap thrills.

No, Cushing’s terror is fueled by ideas .

Enter The Sadist's Bible, the novella that was deemed “too extreme” for corporate publishers. A tale of decadence, death, and divine suicide, The Sadist's Bible explores themes of blasphemy, sadism, obsession, and forbidden desire. The story has also been lauded for its portrayal of LGBT characters.

“There are hints of the great Clive Barker hidden in Cushing’s words, specifically when it comes to the topic of sexuality. Both authors tackle the subject without regrets, and Cushing unabashedly delves right into something that many people consider taboo... it’s refreshing to see a work of fiction that explores female sexuality in a way that doesn’t hide it or repress it.”
