"Of The Flesh is a remarkably consistent collection of horror short stories. It's difficult to maintain this standard across a multi-author collection, and I feel that the editor/s deserve a lot of credit here... except that they aren't named. What is"

“I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.”

“You should never read just for "enjoyment." Read to make yourself smarter! Less judgmental. More apt to understand your friends' insane behavior, or better yet, your own. Pick "hard books." Ones you have to concentrate on while reading. And for god's sake, don't let me ever hear you say, "I can't read fiction. I only have time for the truth." Fiction is the truth, fool! Ever hear of "literature"? That means fiction, too, stupid.”
