And Then You Die Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
Following a drunken, hedonistic night out on the town in New Orleans, successful businesswoman and sexual deviant Claire Jepson accidentally soils herself in her expensive car.

The resulting excrement comes to life as a terrifying, sardonic fecal spirit and not only dishes out a particularly gruesome death to Claire’s unfaithful, gold digging fiancé, but also thwarts a kidnap/murder plot by her employees and introduces Claire to a world of depraved pleasures beyond even her depraved imagination.

A year later, the errant spirit has spiraled wildly out of control with its insatiable appetite for perverted sex and human flesh and has destroyed both Claire’s business and life.

To her horror, Claire then discovers that the fecal spirit plans to consume her unborn child in order to attain immortality and she must return to the seedy underbelly of the Big Easy where her nightmare began in a heart-pounding race against time to confront the spirit’s creator; a high priest of a most ancient and deadly order, who is the only one who can put a stop to the spirit’s murderous intentions.

A wicked, fast-paced story laced with tongue-in-cheek, dark humor and which is at the same time incredibly erotic and stomach churning; definitely not one to be read whilst eating!

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

James hails originally from Yorkshire, England having relocated with his family to Houston, Texas in 2010. He has an honors degree in Zoology and a background in sales, marketing and business. James is an Affiliate Member of the Horror Writers Association.

James also writes screenplays and currently has three under option (a spine-chilling horror, a Tarantino-esque crime caper and an animated family movie). In 2014 he was commissioned by Spectra Records to write a biopic feature on the early life of Bob Marley, and in 2015 was writer for hire on the Kenyan sitcom ‘The Samaritans’.

As if that weren’t enough, James has written and directed a bunch of short movies, winning Best Director in the 2013 Splatterfest film competition and Remi awards at Houston’s Worldfest Film Festival in 2012, 2014 and 2015.

James’ writing style has been described as uncompromising, unique and entertaining; he combines highly original ideas with brilliant vocabulary and highly effective yarn spinning in which the story always comes first! Be warned, his work does have a tendency towards the dark side – usually with a rich vein of humor – and there is always a delicious twist at the end!

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING...

Scream Hard Review

"Face of An Angel", by James H Longmore

Donna Maria:

Once again this author delivers a short story that is executed sublimely.

Encapsulated only in 12 pages, you find exquisite depths and characterization... that's no mean feat.

I cried at one point, laughed out loud and felt ice course through my veins, and although this sounds odd, to me that's a real treat!

An emotional story full of dark and piercing perceptions that you just know are as natural to James H Longmore as breathing.

The ebb and flow is his main armoury, a bit of a demon where it comes to delivering that killer line, be it funny, sad or shocking!

Scream Hard Review

"A Proud Father", by James Longmore

Donna Maria:

I'm still very emotional after finishing this short story late last night.

These poignant 7 pages delivered depth, beauty and horror with the sharpest of blades, so as the rush of emotions whilst reading were uncontrollable.

In many ways, and I'm sure when you read this you will agree, it reminded me of 'The Book Thief', in as much as you are taken on a journey that is fated to end in tragedy, yet you cannot help but allow yourself to love the characters.

I was treated to two short stories to read by this author and am thoroughly looking forward to 'Face of an Angel'. James Longmore has completely taken me by surprise. I had no idea what to expect, but then I do so love that feeling of discovery and such a fantastic way to find a new author.

In one sentence: If 'A Proud Father' was all James H Longmore ever wrote, it would be enough.

This was a quick, gross but really fun read. If you don’t mind all the dirty stuff then you will probably enjoy this book, the writing was good.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Nightmarish Tale of Horror Unleashed
Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2023
As a lifelong horror fiction fan, I thought I had seen it all—creepy creatures, vengeful spirits, and gory mayhem—but James H. Longmore's "And Then You Die" proved me wrong. This chilling and daring novel takes readers on a disturbing journey that defies all expectations, introducing us to a protagonist, Claire Jepson, whose wild night out in New Orleans leads to unimaginable horror.

The story begins with an utterly unexpected and grotesque turn of events when Claire accidentally soils herself in her luxurious car during a drunken escapade. But what follows is beyond anything I could have envisioned—a terrifying, sardonic fecal spirit that emerges from the excrement and unleashes a gruesome fate upon Claire's unfaithful fiancé and thwarts a sinister plot hatched by her employees.

Longmore masterfully weaves together elements of horror and dark humor, creating a uniquely twisted and macabre tale that leaves readers both shocked and intrigued. As the fecal spirit's insatiable appetite for perversion and human flesh grows, Claire's life unravels, and her world plunges into darkness. It's a horrifying spectacle that keeps readers on the edge of their seats, uncertain of what monstrous twist will unfold next.

But the true horror lies not just in the supernatural manifestations but in the deep psychological exploration of Claire's character. We witness a successful businesswoman descending into depravity and facing her own darkest desires, as she is drawn into a world of unimaginable horrors she could never have imagined. This transformation takes the novel to a new level, making it more than just a gore-fest, but a study of human vulnerability and the potential darkness that lurks within.

One of the strengths of "And Then You Die" lies in Longmore's skillful storytelling. He flawlessly balances gruesome and shocking moments with a well-paced narrative, creating an atmosphere of dread that seeps into every page. The vivid and atmospheric descriptions of New Orleans' seedy underbelly add to the story's authenticity and immerse readers in the haunting setting.

As the plot unfolds, the stakes escalate when Claire discovers the spirit's sinister plans for her unborn child. This revelation propels her into a heart-pounding race against time, culminating in a nerve-wracking confrontation with the spirit's creator, a high priest of a deadly ancient order. The climax is intense, filled with tension, and the resolution leaves a lasting impression, haunting readers long after the final page.

"And Then You Die" is not for the faint of heart, but it is a gripping and unforgettable horror novel that pushes the boundaries of the genre. Longmore's bold and original concept, coupled with his expert storytelling, creates a nightmarish tale that challenges readers to confront the darkest corners of their imagination. If you're a horror enthusiast looking for a truly unique and disturbing experience, this novel will not disappoint. Just be prepared to be taken on a dark and twisted ride that will linger in your thoughts long after you've finished reading.

3.0 out of 5 stars Read at your own risk
Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2023
This was a TOUGH read. I rarely want to drop a book, but this one had me teetering on the edge with my back foot (I have amazing balance on my tiptoes but shoddy balance on my heels). Not to say the story wasn't good or the writing was terrible. Quite the contrary, both were solid. The gore and details were great.

However, if you're not into scat or emetophilia, then this is NOT the book for you. Unless you want to challenge yourself. Unfortunately, I wasn't the target audience.

I do have to say that the book lost points because I felt like the mythos of the fecal demons wasn't explained enough. I've never seen the point of establishing rules but then not going more into the lore at least enough not to wholly confuse the reader at the end. If there is a sequel that came out going more into the fecal spirits background I MIGHT read it.

This book is a case of traverse at your own peril kind. So, I'll neither recommend nor condemn it

4.0 out of 5 stars Gross and Fun
Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2023
Some horror books are fun to read from start to finish. Other are an exercise in persevering through scenes that churn your stomach. it is the latter category to which And Then You Die by James H. Longmore belongs.

The book takes you into a world of hedonistic sex and fecal demons (Yes, you read that right), with the levels of depravity sinking deeper with each turn of the page,

While there were times when I wanted to quit, the writing was sharp and humorous enough to keep me moving on to the end, which was rather satisfying.

And The You Die is one of those books that is difficult to recommend, but if you are a fan of extreme horror, you are going to get a kick out of this one.
