NEW RELEASE — SLAUGHTERVILLE: THE CANNIBAL REDNECKS
A Blood-Soaked Descent into Small-Town Terror
SLAUGHTERVILLE, USA — The quiet streets of America’s heartland just got a lot louder. And bloodier. The Slaughterville series returns with Slaughterville: The Cannibal Rednecks, a ferocious new chapter in the acclaimed small-town action-horror saga that has readers locking their doors and double-checking the dark. It started with an invitation. The Hawthorne family returns to the cornfields where something ancient and hungry stirs. The family have come home, and they’re bringing their appetites with them. As the town is wracked by intrigue and kidnappings, the Mayor must face a horrifying truth:
Not everyone can be trusted. Sometimes the biggest threat is the one you never see coming.
Written in the signature cinematic, nerve-tightening style that made the Slaughterville universe a cult favorite, The Cannibal Rednecks blends rural noir, explosive action, and backwoods dread into a relentless descent through madness and morality. Every page crackles with sweat, sawdust, and fear.
“It’s The Princess Bride meets Last House on the Left by way of Buffy The Vampire Slayer,” says series creator Christopher Brown. “You think you know small-town horror. Wait until you meet the Hawthornes.”
A Lot to Talk About

There are quite a few things to talk about today. I have a video posted about the future of Laughing Rogue and the TLDR of it is that I will be posting the new books/RPGs to Amazon instead of going through crowdfunding.
This not only makes it easier on my by not having to handle shipping, but it is a guarantee to you that you will get your product once you order it. You don't have to wait for the book to be finished, because it is already done. You don't have to worry if you'll see delays because, well, it's already done. It's an easy decision for me to make to put the books directly on Amazon. It also saves on shipping costs for everyone. You don't have to pay to ship from the United States if you live in Canada or overseas. It is printed and sent in your region.
If you want to follow along or get a fuller picture of the state of Laughing Rogue, feel free to head here:
In the meantime, I have the Slaughterville RPG: The Tourist Guide releasing on October 10th. This one introduces the content from Slaughterville 2 to the RPG. New Items, Archetypes, Specialties, Villains, and a new Story: The Madness Beneath Slaughterville!
If you have Kindle Unlimited, you should already have the notification that Slaughterville Book 3: The Cannibal Rednecks is coming on October 31st!
Slaughterville doesn’t appear on most maps, and that’s by design. It’s a town held together by lies, magic, and pacts with monsters.
John came to town to help his fiancée. He stayed to bury her. Now, something has everyone trapped inside. And that’s not the worst thing…
Meet the Hawthorne family; a clan of old-school cannibals with a god to feed, a reputation to uphold, and a serious meat supply issue. They’ve returned to their ancestral farm for their sacred ritual: a feast in honor of their dark god. But the meat is spoiled, the balance has shifted, and the town itself is tainted. As monstrous secrets rise and old pacts fray, Slaughterville’s Mayor fights to keep the barriers intact...and the horrors inside.
Ray Hawthorne, patriarch and predator, wants nothing more than to keep his love Lisa safe. But as Slaughterville turns on itself, even the most grotesque hearts can break. The Princess Bride meets Leatherface in this gothic horror love story soaked in blood, betrayal, and barbecue. Dinner’s served. You might just be on the menu.
Thanks for reading this long. I look forward to seeing your thoughts on these new adventures!

A Fun and Big Upate

I love and hate to make these. I love them because I get to tell you that the games and books are shipping and we have a LOT of future plans! I hate it because I am going to promote myself and, if you know me, you know that I am not good at promotion. But, we need to do this or we can't grow :) Which is why I need help and sharing :)
First, I want to thank everyone. I could not have done ANY of these campaigns without you. You honor me every day by enjoying these games and books. I am truly more humbled than you can imagine. This is the 10th anniversary of Slaughterville (which is why there was the VLC and book in one year) and you made it fun! You made it memorable! I love this series, and I am glad that I get to share it with you. Here's to another 10 years!!
The VLC campaign is shipping and I have a pile of boxes for my mail carrier to pick up tomorrow :) I have so many boxes in my living room area that it looks like an official warehouse :) And I love it!!!
I do have more Slaughterville board game expansions planned, but they are not quite up to my standards yet :) I do have the plan for the RPG book 2 later this year: The Tourist Guide!!
I am also shipping the novels (which some should have shortly)! I had to get a few copies replaced because of bent covers from shipping, but those are in now and the company that I deal with is always good to me. I can't say anything bad about them.
Speaking of the novel!! I am finished with Book 3 :) The Cannibal Rednecks are done! I don't think I will get to bring it out this year because of the RPG Book 2 and the other things I will show below, but know that it is good!! This is my thought:
What better to have near Valentine's Day than a love story? ;)
I am also writing a novel set in the Urban Fantasy 1940s world of Jake Bishop (See the first book here: https://www.fundmycomic.com/campaign/201/a-damned-dirty-thing-a-pariah-story). My story is called: The Fountain of Madness and will follow Jake on a world spanning adventure as he tries to stop a cult from raising something dark in the Antarctic.
I also have a cookbook that I am designing for my cousin and my Outdoors channel called: Big Sexy Outdoors :)
Speaking of BSO!! We worked together on the game Gone Hunting (which you can still pick up in a lot of our projects as an add-on or you can get it here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/276484998875 ) We do have an expansion planned for Gone Hunting called Predators giving you new animals, weapons, guides, and more! I have that one laid out and almost ready to go :)
If I could show you the dozens of games and stories that I have in my folder, you would see that Laughing Rogue will be around for a long time. Speaking of us...If you want to chat or hang out, you can find us in a few places:
Twitter/X: I am on here sometimes. I am not a social media person, but this one isn't bad if you ignore a lot ;) https://x.com/LaughingRoguePA
Facebook: I use this one mainly to post about the games and to talk to other creators/fans: Feel free to sign up and check it out if you want :) https://www.facebook.com/LaughingRogueGames
Youtube! We already posted the BSO link, but here is the Laughing Rogue link. I honestly don't post much. I don't like to spam people (which is why I don't send many emails). But, you can see us here playing games weekly. We are working through a Slaughterville RPG campaign here:
and on:
Finally, and I know this was a long one, I wanted to share a campaign from a friend of mine. Laurie has been pushing hard to spread the word about her post apocalyptic western series where the dead just don't die. They aren't mindless undead, they are still people, but...well, I don't want to give spoilers :) Grab Issues 1-7 here!! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pathofthepalerider/path-of-the-pale-rider-issues-1-7
Thanks for reading and checking all of this out. If you have any favorite cryptids or horror stories that you would LOVE to see in Slaughterville, reach out and let me know!!

Slaughterville Book 2 Update
10 months ago
– Wed, May 21, 2025 at 08:17:22 AM
Hello all! I know that the campaign isn't over yet, and I would love it if you could share and tell everyone about the book! I have been working on getting everything ready for when the campaign is finished.
1: The Hardcover and Softcover files are completed and uploaded to the printer. All we need is to get the funds in and hit print :)
2: The materials are already on their way for the custom covers. One point of note, remember that since they are custom, they will take a couple of weeks extra to get to you. It will be worth it!
3: I also finished the EPUB/Kindle version for those that are getting digital. I will have the standard PDF and EPUB versions for you.
4: We have unlocked the Custom Signature goal. When I send out the surveys, I will ask if you want me to sign it. If you do, just let me know the name or names of those you wish me to include.
5: Again, please share the campaign. I really wanna hit that tattoo goal :) Even if it's just for the fun of doing it :)
6: Overall, that's pretty much it...there was SOMETHING else...now, what was it?? Oh yeah :)

I wanted to reach out and let you know that we have a new project coming Monday! It's the Slaughterville VLC packs! VLC stands for Villains, Locations, and Characters:
Each pack contains 1 Villain, 1 Location, and 3 Characters that you can drop into any Slaughterville board game. It will also come with any necessary tokens.
But that's not all! There is an exclusive release of a Villain that I have had since the inception of Slaughterville over 10 years ago: The Pumpkin Fiend!
