Dirty Heads: A Novella of Cosmic Coming-of-age Horror
Dirty Heads: A Novella of Cosmic Coming-of-age Horror | Aaron Dries
2 posts | 1 read | 6 to read
The story of a boy who dreamed of becoming a man... But dreamed up a monster instead You're on the run. Marked. Don't think about the kid you used to be when you're homeless and dumpster-diving in the rain. Just eat whatever you find to keep your engine full. Because the shadow with too many teeth wants you tired. You're easier to catch when you're tired. It has hunted you since the summer of 1994, back when we confessed who we were through mixtapes. When every movie at the video store had dirty heads. You were thirteen and thought you knew who you were. Only the shadow with too many teeth knew you better. It still does. And it won't stop. Not until you come home. Back to where it all began. Part cosmic horror, part coming-of-age monster story, DIRTY HEADS is a terrifying read from the author of HOUSE OF SIGHS, THE FALLEN BOYS, and A PLACE FOR SINNERS

I really liked this coming of age cosmic horror novella. A cosmic creature is given life and strength by the insecurities it feeds off of the MC Heath, a young Australian teenager who is on the cusp of puberty and is just starting to question his sexuality. Dries does a really good job of drawing the 1990‘s setting and Heath‘s normal, loving family life, which makes it all the more painful as hunger in the creature grows. Tears were spilled. Pick!

vivastory Stacked, of course! Even though the cover freaks me out 2y
Reggie @vivastory that cover is hardcore! I‘m really liking Aaron Dries as an author. Have you ever read Richard Laymon, Scott? Cause he does some Richard Laymon stuff that doesn‘t need to be there but I still like him. A lot. 2y
ItsAnotherJen It's on Kindle Unlimited! This cover is frightening 2y

vivastory I've been meaning to read Laymon but I've heard wildly mixed things about him that I've moved him down my tbr for the time. I figured I should read McCammon & Ketchum first. 2y
Reggie @ItsAnotherJen I don‘t know if this is your kind of book, Jen. The horror gets extreme in places. But, if you pick it up I hope you like it! 2y
Reggie @vivastory yes, read the other two authors first. It‘s just-Laymon is that cook that adds too many ingredients into a dish that was already delicious. He doubles and triple downs and it gets crazy. 2y

42 yo Reggie can laugh now at this commercial with age and medical advances made but I can totally see how in the 1990‘s it would have scared the hell out of any questioning Australian teen with any kind of imagination. Also, I forget how big bowling was in the 80‘s. Watch it here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_lhFc_9U_UY

vivastory Damn, that is a mini-horror movie 🎳☠️👧 2y
TrishB The U.K. adverts were mini horror shows too. 2y
Reggie @vivastory my mini horror show was the opening credits to Unsolved Mysteries. Just that theme song alone! 2y

Reggie @TrishB after watching that 1980‘s nuclear war movie from the U.K, I bet there were some really scary ones. 2y
vivastory @TrishB Completely unrelated but I watched your segment on Shawn's BookTube channel last night. It was great 👍 You completely sold me on the book 📚 2y
Bookzombie Definitely a mini-horror movie. 2y
TrishB I remember a lot of gravestones! 2y
TrishB @vivastory oh that‘s really cool 👍🏻 thank you 2y
CarolynM Oh yeah, it was a creepy one. Have you actually seen it?😱 As I recall there were some less emotive ones too. My favourite Australian contribution to AIDS prevention was the song Roll it on Robbie by Redgum. Look it up on YouTube, you might be amused. 2y
CarolynM Obviously you have serm it - I missed that you included the link🙄😬 2y
Reggie @CarolynM Lolol that song is awesome! I‘m sure it was cheesy back then. There is an older gentleman in his late 60‘s I work with and he is also gay. He‘s been married to his husband since it was legal and together for 30 years. The other day we were talking about how lucky we both were to not have contracted HIV. Also, the boy in the book mentions a commercial about Flora butter where vegetables are dancing but I couldn‘t find it. 2y
