“Bloody and melancholic… a brutal vision of the future [that] ponders how much one person can take if all they consume is endless generations of human malice.” New review of FILTH EATERS just dropped: www.grimdarkmagazine.com/review-filth...

REVIEW: Filth Eaters by Ito Romo
Filth Eaters is both dark and thoughtful: it takes the vampire myth and adds something a little extra. It talks about racism, xenophobia, and the long reaching horrors of colonialism.
