Reviews

[Curtis · Rating 4 out of 5]

A solid modern horror collection with themes of grief and societal decay threaded throughout. My favorite stories were Pigs Don’t Squeal In Tigertown (because I like biker gangs) and A Short Madness (because I like horny priests).

[Danny Brzozowski · Rating 5 out of 5]

Each and every story hits like a ten ton hammer. Exquisite and unrelenting.

[John · Rating 4 out of 5]

A solid collections of stories that vary in quality but believe me, when they hit, they HIT. 'Back Seat', 'Pigs Don't Squeal In Tigertown' and 'A Short Madness' really stand out. But each tale in this does a good job balancing humanity and the monstrous.

A collection of macabre tales, which I loved! Some intense and disturbing content but the wide variety of stories appealed to me and kept me reading late at night. Looking forward to reading more from this author!
