3 Tall Tales by Patrick Kill

Project Details

Original Marketing Description

3 Tall Tales is a delirious descent into the warped mind of Patrick Kill, where the absurd meets the macabre and childhood innocence is twisted beyond recognition. In this trio of outrageous, grotesquely funny horror stories, the author gleefully blurs the line between satire and shock, offering readers a genre-bending ride they won’t forget.

In “The Magic Cupboard,” a young boy discovers a piece of enchanted furniture that brings his toys—and much worse—to life. From Barbie and Ken’s depraved bedroom antics to the Grim Reaper terrorizing the family cat, Andy’s new favorite toy may just destroy everyone around him… unless he flushes it first.

“Tall Tail” follows two brothers who discover roadkill with a suspiciously fluffy tail—and that’s only the beginning. When the tail detaches, slithers up one brother’s shorts, and takes up permanent residence where the sun doesn’t shine, the story veers into outlandish bodily horror with a punchline that will leave you howling… or gagging.

Finally, “The Giant Man” takes a bizarrely romantic turn as a lonely woman falls in love with a gentle forest giant. But as her sexual obsession grows, she takes drastic measures to consummate their impossible relationship—unleashing a horde of monstrous consequences in the most twisted climax you’ve ever read.

Sharply written, shamelessly perverse, and darkly comedic, 3 Tall Tales is a masterclass in uncomfortable laughter and taboo-breaking horror. Fans of cult classics like Eraserhead, Troma films, or Chuck Palahniuk will find themselves right at home in Kill’s disturbing universe.

If you like your horror weird, filthy, and funny—look no further.
