Who hasn't wanted to exact revenge on their oppressor? From bad bosses, to corrupt corporations, and the greedy elite, this anthology has it all. Tales of the poor, marginalized, and working class being pushed to their absolute limits and screaming, "enough is enough!"
Each story will take you through the horrors many face surviving day to day, and how they finally snap to take down those who control their very livelihoods. These stories will make you squirm in your seat and root for the underdog, even when it ends in a bloody, bone-chilling victory.
Devour the Rich is a fun set of revenge horror stories set against the elite of our society. I'll be honest, there's nothing more satisfying than reading a set of stories where the hard-working poor get their revenge on the rich, who might be heartless. I must admit, the cover art drew me to the story along with the title. All of the stories were great, but these were my absolute favorites.

Overall, I enjoyed this collection of revenge horror. If you love a good tale of warranted revenge, give this collection a read!
Having participated in several myself, I love picking up indie author anthologies and discovering lots of new authors. I found the theme of this one irresistible, especially in these current times.
There are seventeen stories to feast on, each with their own inventive take on the consequences of sociopathic greed. I enjoyed them all, but of course have my favorites: two of those ("Seamus" by Bryn Grover and "A Thorn in One's Side" by Christine Cunningham) were by the two authors who signed my copy at this years Scares That Care AuthorCon. Supernatural entities have their parts to play ("Secret Employer" by Bobby Nash and "Blood Money" by Ian Gielen), but sometimes ordinary people are driven to gruesome vengeance (Pete Russo's "Happy Holidays" and Besu Tadesse's "Bacon Bits").
Overall, this is a very entertaining selection for anyone working for or oppressed by The Man.
This was an excellent collection from some very talented authors. I like how each author had a different take on the theme and you never knew what to expect. They were all quite good and I found some new authors to check out.
