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 meer story, just one meer 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 cirkel above. The guards and inmates laugh as he tries to fly but with his feathered vrienden 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 vis 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 u can find out meer about each one. Even though the stories are good, they are very short and the book will not take u 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.

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.
