Being the president must be a difficult job. The last thing u need is to be infected with lice while half of America turns into vegetables and gets eaten door their pets.
This is a horror short story collection all based around the premise of presidents and/or the White House.
There's ghosts, a zombie, a werewolf, a botched assassination attempt, re-animated dead beroemdheden serviced door prostitutes amongst others. The horror here is disgustingly brilliant, twisted to the extreme but always with an underlying wit and intelligence that makes every story fresh and wholly satisfying to read. Although the collection has no overt political agenda, a lot of the (fictional) presidents described are ego-maniacal idiots who are about as pleasant and trustworthy as a serial killer.
If u are new to Edward Lee's work u could start here as, in my view, this book gives a good account of the way Mr Lee writes as he pushes the boundaries of both horror fiction and the comfort level of the reader with it's shed load of bodily secretions flying around and a heap of sex, it's written to make u shudder and cringe as any good horror should do.
A very enjoyable collection of stories. Thank u for reading.

Flash fiction seems to be a growing trend and in this ebook it is done brilliantly. Using EXACTLY 100 words for a story must be tricky,to instantly interest the reader but not leave them frustrated that the story ended too soon. Most of the stories included here deal with zombies. Seen from many angles there is a crude nasty humour that runs throughout most of them. It tasteless and dark but magnificent and exactly what horror fans want. There are other stories included that are of normal short story length and deal with different topics that include apocalypse and weird fantasy.
This collection is high on quality and although u may read it in one sitting some of the tales here will stay in your head for a while after. Well written and edited it is definitely worth your time.

Sound bizarre? It is. It's also blistering witty, extremely violent, filled with acidic one-liners and lashings of gore. This book (the auteur remains nameless) is for anyone who loves a bit of anarchy in their reading material. The plot jumps all over the place and u have to keep up and still,just when u think you've got it all figured out, there's a twist.For it's sheer inventiveness, this book is highly recommended.
Here is a eccentric and eclectic selection of bizarro short stories door one of the leading writers in the field Andersen Prunty.
There are over twenty tales in all, covering such weirdness as a man who puts a dog into orbit, a father who throws rocks at a kids head, a balloon-man who loses his secret power and a competition that revolves around injuring pedestrians to earn points and win money.
All these stories are exceptionally well written, brimming with invention and weirdness. Some lean on the horrific side of literature,some the meer humorous and some a wild mixture of sorrow, fear and hope.
If u are new to the bizarro fiction movement, u could start here quite happily. This book isn't as extreme in terms of sex and violence as other collections but none the less an enthralling read about seeing the world through a glass askew.

I have read quite a few short story collections and this is one of the best I've read. I think I liked it because not matter how dark, gross and horrifying the stories there's an underlying insane glee to all of them like mad people laughing at the moon while they eat their own fingers. There isn't a bad of boring story on toon here. All are well-written and the piece on the whole is also well edited.
Try this ebook, it's brilliant.
Thank you.
