Book – Viggy Parr Hampton

Are you ready to enter… The Rotting Room?

“I am ready to join the Sisterhood of Viggy after reading The Rotting Room. Time to take my vows, now that I’ve novitiated on this awe-inspiring novel, and commit myself to a lifelong calling of reading whatever Parr Hampton writes.” —Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Wake Up and Open Your Eyes

Sister Rafaela, a newcomer to the cloistered Sisters of Divine Innocence, yearns for redemption from her horrific past. However, her new abbey, bound by a vow of silence and a disturbing burial ritual, hides its own sinister secrets.

When a mysterious stranger arrives and dies soon after, her body resists decomposition, sparking fevered claims of sainthood among the nuns… but Rafaela suspects something far darker.

As the abbey teeters on the edge of madness, Rafaela and local priest Father Bruno race to uncover whether the Sisters of Divine Innocence are graced by a divine miracle—or consumed by unspeakable evil.

“Hampton delivers a masterclass in narrative restraint, yet refuses to pull her punches. By taking its vows alongside The First Omen, Immaculate, and Suspiria, The Rotting Room ascends to horror literature heaven.” —Nick Roberts, author of The Exorcist’s House and Mean Spirited

“Dreadfully atmospheric and alluringly oppressive, The Rotting Room is a testament to the heart of religious horror, Viggy Parr Hampton’s writing irresistibly smooth like gothic butter.” —Mona Kabbani, author of The Color of Blood

Disturbed pre-med student Keely Rexroth is unable to take ‘no’ for an answer when she is denied entry into a prestigious research program.

If she can’t get what she deserves on her own merit, she’ll eliminate her competition.

“A brash, unapologetic, and often funny novel with a delightful nasty streak. I enjoyed the hell out of this one.”
—Ronald Malfi, bestselling author of Small Town Horror

“Viggy Parr Hampton’s Much Too Vulgar crackles with deftly crafted motives, intensely high stakes, and characters as sharply written as the scalpels they wield. Add to this a dose of black humor on par with Brett Easton Ellis and you’ve got yourself a horror novel you will not want to miss.”

—Christa Carmen, Bram Stoker Award-winning and Shirley Jackson Award-nominated author of The Daughters of Block Island

“Much Too Vulgar is a delightfully fun roller-coaster ride through a depraved mind. Never before have I rooted so hard for the villain to come out on top! Viggy Parr Hampton has such an incredible way of painting a vivid world filled with characters you love to hate and hate to love. This was a fast-paced page turner that I couldn’t put down! It crawled itself into my mind with each new word I read and it sits there still, well after I’ve finished. I can’t recommend this book enough! It’s so good!”

—Angel Van Atta, author of In The Tall Trees

“Move over Dexter. Meet Keely. Part thriller, part savage satirical takedown of pre-med academia, Much Too Vulgar is rich with comedic terror. Viggy writes with a razor-sharp wit that would leave Carl Hiaasen’s jaw on the floor. I haven’t had this much fun following a character since Jeff Lindsay’s Darkly Dreaming Dexter. This is going to be the year’s can’t miss hit.”

—Gage Greenwood, author of Bunker Dogs

Looking for more Georgetown lore?

It’s no secret that the main character of my newest novel, MUCH TOO VULGAR, is a Georgetown undergraduate. I love the dark academic feel of a story set at a university–and in this case, the university in question has a LOT of lore, both historical and contemporary. You can check out the links below for additional information, or you can join me and my wonderful college roommates, Sarah and Laura, as we unpack some of the most interesting, terrifying, and hilarious aspects of learning and living at Georgetown on my podcast, Horror Humor Hunger.
