There are ten short stories here with no stinkers in the bunch. In fact, I enjoyed this book so much that I finished it in one sitting, constantly saying just one thêm story, just one thêm story and then when I had finished I wanted more.
There are a mixture of genres included here. A little bit of erotica, gore, gross, mystical, magical, twisted and nasty. You're personal tolerance for horror is your own of course, but this is certainly not the nastiest most horrific collection I have read but it does have enough great stories that, once read, sit at the back of your head and scratch at your brain.
Included:
Spelunking: Two men, hoping to find a new cave system that they can lay claim to end up discovering something so foul and dangerous that it is better left undiscovered.
Excitable Boy: A run-down theatre harbours dark secrets. Are the rumours about something hiding out in there true? A young couple looking for a good time are about to find out.
On Fine Feathered Wings: Can a convict escape prison on wings made from the discarded feathers of the crows that constantly vòng tròn above. The guards and inmates laugh as he tries to fly but with his feathered Những người bạn helping him will he get the last laugh?
Yellow: A writer moves to the woods hoping to re-kindle his marriage. Instead, he discovers a cave with a strange hot spring filled with weird yellow cá and a couple of fertility statues, the male version of which makes a deadly request.
This is quite a good collection of stories from some of the best horror short story writers around. Each story contains a brief bio of the writer and information on how bạn can find out thêm about each one. Even though the stories are good, they are very short and the book will not take bạn very long to get through. This is no bad thing however as it is best to have a short collection of interesting rather than a long collection of rubbish.
Leave 'em wanting more. This certainly does.
Thanks for reading.

There is a movement in the literary industry that I thought I'd bring your attention to. Collectively it is known as Bizarro. The literary equivalent of the cult section in the video store, these sách are brimming with inventiveness that usually circles around the grotesque, creepy, erotic and just plain weird and nasty. Like looking through the eyes of David Lynch when he's having a cheese nightmare, some of the writers that deal in the Bizarro deserve thêm attention. Authors like Carlton Mellick, Wrath James White, Edward Lee and many more, hiển thị that novels are not dead and that horror doesn't have to be a diluted toothless monster that is predictable as it is boring. These 'extreme horror' sách also posses an intelligence within the ideas that can be social, political hoặc psycho. If bạn like your horror truly disturbing and mind-bending, check out some of these authors and their works.Thank you.
These tales are not for the weak of tim, trái tim hoặc stomach as they deal with some horrid little topics that are highly enjoyable. Edward Lee's nghề viết văn sucks the reader into each twisted little scenario and makes your skin crawl, makes bạn think, makes bạn want to keep on reading, never knowing what will happen tiếp theo and dreading the tiếp theo page.
This is real horror. Don't expect happy endings and sugar coated stories of 'likeable' people doing 'nice' things. This is down dirty and nasty.
Highly recommended for horror những người hâm mộ with a brain... and a strong constitution.
If bạn like horror short stories bởi new, interesting authors I recommend the Bizarro Starter Kit books. There are three in all; Blue,Orange and Purple and they are available at Amazon.com among other places. In the U.K bạn may find it hard to find these sách at the bookshop(I did) so the web is your best bet and if bạn enjoy đọc things that are strange, horrific and utterly unpredictable, the I would give these sách a try. Also, bạn will be introduced to some truly excellent, although rather unknown authors, which is always a good thing. Thank you.
In this collection of short horror fiction you'll find a little of everything. This book is not really hardcore horror but there is a bit of blood flying around along with deadly paranoia on board a không gian shuttle, a dark cellar that may contain a yellow eyed monster with teeth and a uncertain afterlife for a cancer patient. The stories are all very well written and edited and I read this entire collection in one day. It was thoroughly entertaining and some of the stories give me a little shiver with some genuinely inventive and unique takes on horror.
There's bound to be something in here for any kind of horror fan, no matter your tastes. It was also nice to read some authors that I had never read before and it spurred me on to discover thêm about them and their other works.
This is an ebook and relatively cheap for the quality of the story telling on show. I would recommend picking this up and if bạn do I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Although this book is somewhat fantastical, it's closeness to reality is all too noticeable and uncomfortable. Do we câu hỏi where meat comes from,how it gets on our own table? Well don't be surprised if,after đọc this brilliant,complex, well-written and engaging book, bạn cannot look at a chop thịt lợn, thịt heo chop the same again.
