The best thing about this short story collection is it's brazenness. It is violently visceral book staining with gore and bulging with pure nastiness. In short it's a book that any real literary horror fan should relish.
The stories include:
HEIRLOOM door Michael Laimo: An inherited geweer-, geweer holds terrible memories and depraved secrets for a seriously demented killer.
VIOLENCE FOR FUN AND PROFIT door Gregory L.Norris: Vengeance becomes political manifesto in this warped view of post-Bush America.
AMPUTATIONS IN THE KEY OF D door Jack Maddox: A rock ster goes for a routine wart removal and ends up losing and gaining much meer than he could have ever dreamed of feared.
HOUSESITTING door straal, ray Garton: Snooping around a neighbours house turns up a nasty little secret for one nosy woman.
EMPTY door A.A.Garrison: A bizarro satire of blind religious fervour and the destruction of the incorrectly blamed 'controversial' scapegoats.
DIS door Michele Garber: A psychologist fights inner demons and temptations in this gory story of madness.
DWELLERS door Paul M.Collrin: In the middle of the desert a God preaches to his eager flock but a disbeliever within the crowd is ready to cause violent havok
PARTY GUESTS door Chad Stroup: The scattered darkly humorous thoughts of an autistic man make for quirky and thoroughly unhinged reading.
THE VISCERA OF WORSHIP door Allen Griffin: A worshipper goes on a pilgrimage to find like minded souls in this celebration of cannibalism and murder.
THE DEFILED door Christine Morgan: Warriors ransack and ravage a village but they soon become the victims at the hands of the 'Marsh-Folk'.
THE ARTIST door James S.Dorr: A meat sculptor pushes the boundaries of art.
A LETTER TO MY EX door J.Michael Major: An emai brimming with bile and anger reveals the extreme limits a man has gone to in order to reek revenge on his ex-wife.
DEVIL RIDES SHOTGUN door Eric Del Carlo: A burnt out cop desperate to find a serial killer enlists the help of a demon.
This is a good quality collection thats covers a lot of hot horror topics while focusing on a few such as serial killers, religion and revenge.

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.
