NO ONE ESCAPES THE LABYRINTH THE LABYRINTH // RE-FORGED a.co/d/0cFHAb2v

SLEDGE was forged in the pages of Berserk and the dueling pits of Dark Souls and Bloodborne. Here’s an early iteration of him crushing cunts with a hammer. youtu.be/8Ec9e7pzu5I?si=1YiE…

I've got so many badass stories percolating for this one. TEN FLOORS. TEN PITS. THE HELL THAT FORGED SLEDGE.

🩸SLEDGE-TOBERFEST🩸 Day VI of XXXI BEFORE THE LABYRINTH, THERE WAS THE PIT. Siberian hellhole. Deathmatches. Nights sold to men in the dark. Every contest to the finish. He did not stay inventory. He walked out undefeated and kept the hammer. That is the no-guns rule. Force. Momentum. Energy. If the hammer can’t settle it, the man isn’t finished. Still no need. That is the hate. The stands were the state. He doesn’t pick a side. He remembers who was betting. THE LABYRINTH is the same arena with a camera. THE WENDIGO is what followed him home. The full story is still in the sand. Drop what you think the Pit took... Drop why he walked out with the hammer and nothing else... THE WENDIGO HUNGERS. ☠️ HALLOWEEN. 🎃 Pre-order: sledgevsbooks.com/buythewend…

🩸SLEDGE-TOBERFEST🩸 Day V of XXXI Somebody asked for second albums that beat the debut. @SledgevsBooks didn’t hesitate. RIDE THE LIGHTNING. HELL AWAITS. THE AVENGER. Metallica. Slayer. Amon Amarth. The swing. The descent. The voice that doesn’t get buried. The drums don’t stop. You can still hear the man. THE WENDIGO is being edited to the new one. THE ALLFATHER AWAKENS. “NEVER FUCKING MISSES. THIS. ALBUM. SLAYS.” Norse hail in the speakers. An Algonquian Hunger on the page. ON PURPOSE. SLEDGE IS THE DEATH METAL OF BOOKS. BRUTAL. HARDCORE. SURPRISINGLY TECHNICAL. Too much for casuals. Only badasses handle the hammer. @SledgevsBooks wants “METAL AF AUTHOR” on the stone. Drop which of the three you’d put on for the last ten pages... THE WENDIGO HUNGERS. ☠️ HALLOWEEN. 🎃 Pre-order: sledgevsbooks.com/buythewend…

THIS IS SO FUCKING AWESOME (AND FUN AS HELL). It has me salivating for the SLEDGE game.

THE GRAND HOTEL HAS CHECKED IN SOMETHING NASTY. PINKY'S ON THE DOOR. NOBODY GETS PAST. A Hot Dose of Hell: a retro, 8-bit pixel horror game developed by Mad Dog Marty. Go beat some bad guys! 👊🇬🇧💀

🩸SLEDGE-TOBERFEST🩸 Day IV of XXXI 🎥 MOVIES 🎥 He already ranked them. SLEDGE VS. THE WENDIGO’s five most influential horror flicks, his words: 1. In the Mouth of Madness 2. Maniac Cop 2 3. Bone Tomahawk 4. Ravenous 5. Candyman Craig Zahler is the one he wants behind the camera of a Sledge film. Bone Tomahawk. Brawl in Cell Block 99. “He does badass well.” That’s the camera. Frontier dread. A cop who won’t stay dead. Hunger that wears a face. A hook that won’t leave the ear. Not the usual canon. His. 🩸SLEDGE-TOBERFEST🩸 Books. Movies. Music. Lore. Reviews. Blood. The soul-crushing philosophy that built this series. Drop the one on that list that got you… Drop the Zahler film you’d put on tonight… THE WENDIGO HUNGERS. ☠️ HALLOWEEN. 🎃 Pre-order: sledgevsbooks.com/buythewend…

Sledge is one of the best (if not the best) modern character from the 2020s. Thank you (and Brian for that matter) for not giving a fuck about what’s popular and writing what *YOU* want to write.

SLEDGE'S soundtrack for his final Wendigo edits. @AmonAmarthBand never fucking misses. THIS. ALBUM. SLAYS. open.spotify.com/album/3wWGw…

Helluva a way to kick off the darkest season of the year with a dual Sledge hammer drop! Labyrinth Re-Forged and Wendigo on Halloween! If you haven't, it's time to get amongst the Sledgendary!

This is one of the... fuck it, THE most badass thing that's been done for SLEDGE. I didn’t ask for SLEDGE-TOBERFEST... @travismreid grabbed the fucking hammer and forged it himself. Please do dive in, reply, & get amongst the badassery. Fuck around. FIND OUT. 🔨💀🔥

🩸SLEDGE-TOBERFEST🩸 DAY II of XXXI WHO THE FUCK IS SLEDGE? EINARR “SLEDGE” LAUKKANEN. Six-foot-ten. Norse given name. Minnesota ice. Escaped deathmatch gladiator. Forty-pound hammer. Still doesn’t use guns. Still no need. This is the lore behind the man that forged @SledgevsBooks: a ten-year-old who read Conan, a finesse basketballer who chose to become a rugged rebounding monster, a Duke physics brain, twelve years of pro ball around the globe, settles in the land of the long white cloud surrounded by a lifetime of gnarly novels and a garage full of iron and death metal. Craved a modern-day Conan. Didn't exist. SO HE FORGED HIM! Kiira shows up marked. THE LABYRINTH opens. Ten depths of streamed assassins. The machine’s only mistake is letting SLEDGE in! 🩸SLEDGE-TOBERFEST🩸 Books. Movies. Music. Lore. Reviews. Blood. The soul-crushing philosophy that built this series. Drop how you first met Sledge... Drop the line that made you a SLEDGEND... THE WENDIGO HUNGERS. ☠️ HALLOWEEN. 🎃 Pre-order: sledgevsbooks.com/buythewend…

New Zealand was one of my favorite stops of my career. We had a phenomenal team and built chemistry immediately. We would spend our days trying to physically destroy each other and our nights making equally responsible decisions. Nick Horvath @SledgevsBooks and I both had the same bonus in our contracts…$150 every time we got a double double. I assume ownership figured having two giant assholes fighting over rebounds would help the team, while also assuming there was a 0% chance they would have to pay the both of us. Welp…that 2nd part did not go according to plan. Nick and I fought for every rebound like someone stapled the $150 to the basketball. We endured black eyes, bruises, and stitches. There were rebounds we probably should’ve just let each other have…but we didn’t. If the ball hit the rim, our friendship was briefly suspended. Most nights the two of us outrebounded entire teams, collected our bonuses, then immediately began the very important process of putting that money directly back into the Wellington economy. This usually involved something called a snake bite, which was lager mixed with cider, followed by shots, followed by more snakes, followed by more shots, followed by the completely logical conclusion that everyone should take their shirts off in the bar. But we weren’t some sort of uncivilized swine. We simply pulled our shirts over our heads and left them hanging around our necks, which kept them from getting displaced…We called this Halvsies. At that point in my life I had spent years trying to keep shirts on my body because I was built like Christian Bale in The Machinist. New Zealand changed that. I was lifting like a lunatic, playing some of the best basketball of my career, and finally had enough confidence to think, fuck it, I’m going to take my shirt off in a bar…apparently That’s the shit the basketball card doesn’t tell you. It shows a professional basketball player…it doesn’t show how sometimes as an athlete you toe that “professionalism” line pretty close.

SLEDGE is a Smashing good time. Highly Recommended!!
