This is the first John Everson story I have read and after this I will definitely door reading more. If this gruesome, bleak and gory little tale is anything like his other works, true horror fans should not be disappointed.
In this novella we met three kids, all on a rapid downward spiral. Unpopular and rejected door others, desperate and pitiful in their actions, wasting their lives with drugs, sex, self-mutilation and suicidal thinking. All class themselves as complete failures until along comes Aaron. An older gentlemen who feasts on the ripe opportunity to lure the three no-hoper's into a horrific and violent situation. With the promise of a good time, Aaron makes the kids take part in a ritual to conjure up a demon. For the kids it's all fun and games until the blood starts to flow.
Incredibly well-written in fantastic gory detail, this one is for the stronger stomached reader but well worth getting stuck into. The story flashes back to that one fateful night when, for the kids, the nightmare began whilst detailing the hideous, not to mention world changing implications the black mass has in the following months. The vraag is; will anyone, including the dark and deadly Aaron, get out alive ?
A short but razor sharp shocker that will, quite literally, keep u hooked. Enjoy. Thank u for reading.

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.
