As a parent, it is scary to think that my child might someday be susceptible to this, and even scarier to think of the things I can’t even imagine that will come across his path. His writing is dark and without boundaries and, as a result, he's won the Splatterpunk Award once after garnering 3 total nominations. There are never truly happy endings with tales like these but somehow I felt peace and closure with the final chapter. It brings to life the true horrors out there in life, of a world reliant on social networking and the need for acceptance!

You know it's sick and disgusting and disturbing, but what you might not know is that Modern Hysteria's themes are poignant and relevant to today's youth culture. It also made me think about how society, social media, the web all gives a sense of invincibility in the way that we are allowed to sneak and hide and look at disturbing things even commit disturbing acts and if done correctly we don't have to take any responsibility for the things we do or say because we feel protected and justified in our actions because we have a video or a screenshot.

Aron's work I usually love because most of his output at this point is so comicly over the top with how gruesome the pictures that he paints are and how many taboos he chooses to break.

Aron Beauregard brings you another tale of depravity and gore that pushes the boundaries – as we’ve come to expect.

Aron Beauregard presents a story about one of the great dangers our youth face on the internet, the destruction it leaves behind, and the evil behind it. Despite a lack of urgency from the authorities and his outrage regarding the tragedy, Derek has also discovered a strange positive trend in his artistic trajectory. Aron definitely is on a massive run of truly stellar extreme horror offerings, and Modern Hysteria is no exception. This story will take you to many uncomfortable places, lots of gore and violence, and, of course, suicide.And with the things happening in Europe at the moment – I am stunned that people still refuse to believe what is shown to them. Take Oliver from Yellow or Henry from Sew Sorry or Vera in Son of the Sob and now Derek from Modern Hysteria. Definitely one of my favourites by Aaron, it was I'd say a bit more serious than his other books and I loved that! For people of a certain age – those who grew up in the real world – the world is fast becoming a place we can’t possibly understand.

Although, my favourite scene in the book is an all out Slasher scene that brought to mind Clive Bakers character Dr Decker, stalking a family through their house in the opening scenes of Nightbreed.
