“A fast-paced hell ride of depravity…” ~ Kirkus Reviews
Carnivals, Cannibals, and Clowns. Oh My!
Wanna go for a ride?
Meet Jigglyspot, a five-foot tall half human half warlock carnival clown who spends his free time moonlighting as a drug dealing pimp and lackey for demonic entities who prey on the weak and vulnerable, casting their dark shadow across humanity through manipulation, and fear.
Jigglyspot was selected to serve as the event coordinator for 2019’s Summer Solstice Celebration at the prestigious Cannibal Café. A celebration that brings together both demon and human alike. But with less than two weeks before the celebration, Jigglyspot’s got so much to do and little time to do it. And the feds are hot on his tail. Between securing new recruits for demonic possession, choosing fresh bodies to slice and dice for dinner, and the fact that his girlfriend, Kera, is eating up most of his time, Jiggly’s at his wit’s end.
Hopefully, those demons appreciate all his sacrifices. Hopefully, but unlikely. Those demons can be hell to deal with. Jigglyspot knows; he’s been dealing with them for decades.
Will he rise above, or will tragedy and mayhem lead to dire discoveries poisoned with manipulation and betrayal that will ultimately destroy all Jigglyspot holds dear?
Discover Jigglyspot and his cast of clowns, killers, demons, and wretched fiends, in a novel like you’ve never experienced. Horror, mayhem, thrills, chills, fantasy, and spoils are waiting for your reading eyes with an escape into the underworld of mind control and human slavery.
Warning: This book contains scenes with profound psychological suffering, and graphically violent acts, behaviors, thoughts, deeds, and ridicule. No one has been spared, and no label is safe. Although we are proud to report, no animals were harmed during the writing of this novel, so that’s a good thing. Everyone else is fair game. After all, if you were a demon, what would you think of humanity?
Fans of Grady Hendrix, Catriona Ward, Clive Barker, and Stephen King will be captivated by this edge of your seat, eye-popping, wtf horror novel that is certain to be your next addictive read. As they say, you don’t just read Jigglyspot… You DEVOUR Jigglyspot!
My review
I reviewed this book in my capacity as a member of Rosie’s Book Review Team. If you would like your book reviewed, you can contact Rosie Amber here: http://rosieamber.wordpress.com/.
Right up front I have to say that this book contains very graphic and disturbing scenes of violence and murder. Some of the concepts like cannibalism of babies and children are horrifying and will upset sensitive readers.
That being said, people who enjoy clever horror will enjoy this book. Jigglyspot is a demon with very little respect for the intelligence of humans. This contempt for humanity by Jiggly and his compatriots, reduces the value of humanity to fair game as a source of food and other entertainment.
The organization of dark alien and mythical beings that Jiggly belongs to is determined to take over earth and completely subjugate its population. Of course, there are many humans that rise above Jiggly’s belief in humanities zero intellect and this proves to be his downfall as he underestimates people.
I found the beginning slow and the build up seemed to be scene after scene of disturbing and bloody violence. I almost DNF’d the book because it was a bit to much . At about 100 pages in, the story accelerated and the plot started to reveal itself. The booked picked up quickly and was very interesting and well written.
I enjoyed that character of Tyler who proved to be a real survivor. Unexpectedly, he was also incredibly loyal to his friends and determined to save them and not just himself. His story is unveiled as the book progresses and some of Tyler’s earlier actions make more sense.
Cassandra was also a wonderful character. Determined and hardy, I thought she was the real hero of the book.
For people who enjoy clever horror and are not sensitive to graphic violence, this book has an excellent plot and is a good read.

You were brave, Robbie, to read Jigglyspot. Isn’t that a great name for a horror villain? Great review!

Hi Vera, you also read and write horror so you would understand this type of story and book. It was a bit OTT and hardcore for me, but I did appreciate the cleverness of the storyline.

Hi Liz, this book is certainly not for everyone. I did find the story line intriguing but the gore was a bit OTT for me. I did read Olga’s review of this book so I did know what to expect, more or less. It was certainly more but I did manage to finish it and at least appreciate some of the ideas in the book.

HI RAchel, I read another review of this book and it made me very curious. I am a big fan of Stephen King and some other horror writers and I have written ‘softer’ horror myself. It was an intriguing and clever story but the detail was very brutal and horrifying.
