Killer Mike and the Blood Slugs - The Days of Youth
OUT NOW!!!
Every killer has a first.
Mike has always known he was different, but when he agrees to watch his friend’s playful dog, Billy, over the end of spring break, he has no idea the way his life is going to change. After using the dog to score free drinks and hit on women, the dam holding back whatever lurks inside of him is finally going to break.
In one world, Mike Fontaine is the frontman for a notorious psychedelic hardcore punk band, but in another, he is a serial killer, and every time the band releases a record in their world, Mike kills in the other.
This is the debut record from Killer Mike and the Blood Slugs.
“Smith fashions a gritty, gut-churning, macabre orchestra of viscera and evil that will leave you gasping for more.”
- K.L. Allister, Author of Absolution and Carnivores
“The prose is jagged, grotesque, and at times, disturbingly poetic. This isn’t horror that entertains. It seeps in. It stains. And once it’s in you… it doesn’t leave.”
- Amanda Ruzsa, Author of I Hope You Have Nightmares About Me
“Only once have I tapped out reading a book, and this was it.”
- Asher Dark, Author of When I Die

ABOUT Exploitation Media
Exploitation Media is Here. We make stuff. You want to have that stuff. Right now we mostly just have 1 really short book and 1 public domain horror book. This is humble beginnings. I can FEEL you judging me, so don’t. Just stop. Soon there are going to be some games and some 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), but 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 and that he would have called it 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.

Here's a trio from the south suburbs that's made the rarest of commodities circa 2002: a lo-fi art-rock concept album that doesn't stink. The goal in crafting this tongue-in-cheek tale of a society where robots battle over the future of rock would seem to have been a merger of Devo, Ween, and Urge Overkill (via all the "we rock!" posturing). At times, there's a little too much shtick, and the production values are a bit rough on the ears. But you have to hand it to the boys for ambition, and I'll be watching what they do in the future.

Now it is years later. The name, Exploitation Records, has been expanded to include all Media. The logo was made in Photoshop instead of MS Paint this time. 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.
