“Matt Smith's The Brassey Avenue Massacre is a tour de force of fucking madness. Murder, mayhem, and utter insanity. I loved it and cannot wait for the next installment of this author’s brain dump onto the written page! He ticks all my boxes!”
- Tory Favro, author of Hunters, the prequel to Piñata
“The Brassey Avenue Massacre is a violent (and moist) punk rock horror ride that takes the fleshy doings of Mike & the Slugs further (erm—deeper?) than anything we’ve seen from them so far!”
- B.S. Miller, Author of Veštica
“The sickest book in the sickest series I've ever read. The Blood Slugs and Matthew Jon Smith Forever!”
- Jim Donohue, Author of The Stranger
What happens when a serial killer crashes a party?
Mike’s memory has been acting up again ever since his last kill. It is a kill he can’t fully remember, yet the resulting high has been tremendous. The one thing he can recall is that making the conscious choice to kill had made all the difference. Now, he is on the hunt for the perfect victim, one that inspires his work. Luckily for him, an opportunity he can’t refuse is about to fall right in his lap.
In one world, Mike Fontaine is the lead man of a pioneering noise-punk band, Killer Mike and the Blood Slugs. In a different world, he is a serial killer. For every record the Slugs release in theirs, someone in Mike’s world is going to die.
This is the record that put The Slugs on the map.

Exploitation Media is Here. We make stuff. You want to have that stuff. Right now, we mostly just have a couple short books, 1 FAT book on distrubution, and 1 public domain horror book. Throw in a little SWAG merch to round it all out. This is humble beginnings. I can feel you judging me, so don’t. Just stop.
Soon there are going to be some anthologies and multimedia projects that we’re honestly really excited about. See…NOW you want to empty your pockets and give us that startup money. You know you want to.
In the meantime, check out some of the Media we support. Go to our Patreon, if that exists yet (it doesn't). Honestly just give the money directly to us. Throw it at the screen and chant the name "Exploitation Media" until your throat is sore. Or you could get some sick Exploitation Media Merch.
Now for the cold hard truth about Exploitation Media. It was founded whatever year the back of our shirts say... 2001? When Matthew Jon Smith was in a robot-themed punk band called Robo-Dream-Date under the pseudonym, Dr. Rock. Around that era, Matt had been a huge Nirvana fan and had read Come As You Are: The Story of Nirvana by Michael Azerrad, several times, where he learned that Kurt Cobain had ambitions of starting his own indie record label. Cobain would have called this label Exploitation Records. Matt drew up the logo in MS Paint and couldn't wait to slap it on something as fast as he could. When Robo-Dream-Date released their first full-length, Matthew convinced his bandmates to use his label name and logo. Thus, Exploitation Records was born.
Here is our greatest achievement to date which was to have our album reviewed by Jim DeRogatis in the Chicago Sun Times. We only reached this level of absolute fame because Matthew Jon Smith's bandmate's dad worked for the paper and was able to hand Jim the press packet.
Now it is years later. The name, Exploitation Records, has been expanded to include all Media. The logo was made in Photoshop this time instead of MS Paint. That is it. The rest hasn't changed. We here at Exploitation Media have a commitment to art in all of its forms. We would do this for free. But also, put your hands up and give us all your money!
