Duplicated is a fun premise for an anthology.

Some of the standout stories to me were from Kat Guterman, Rob Bilodeau, and Jerry Blaze.

Extreme horror is not exactly my cup of tea, but I know there is an audience out there for it and I know for sure it will be up their alley! A lot of entertaining concepts!

This is an engaging anthology of nine horror stories on the theme of twins, triplets, quadruplets, and so on. Some of the stories just limit themselves to having twins (or etc.) appear in the story; others take on the idea of duplication and run with it in surprising directions. The anthology is wide-ranging, from supernatural and weird tales to outright extreme horror and vicious splatterporn! Special mention should be made to Lilli's art; Lilli's a 13-year-old girl from Chesapeake, whose creepy drawing graces the book in the very first pages.

Stories I enjoyed most were Jerry Blaze's "Lucky," a gory and salacious tale about a man picking up a woman without realizing the huge mistake he's making (I'm tempted to make a vulgar pun, for example "Two heads are better than one," but that would be wasted on this story - check back later); Holly Rose Scott's "Echo and Mirror," an incredibly bizarre story of military horror (I think), drowning in an atmosphere of quiet horror, nerve-wracking ambiguity, and hair-raising imagery, but otherwise practically impossible to summarize; D.L Winchester's "Widow Ridge," a piece of chatty dark comedy with teeth, bordering on splatterporn, though brimming with pleasantly strong B-movie, over-the-top cheesiness; and Chisto Healy's insane story of "Carlita's Catastrophic Climax," where (here it is!) "Two heads are better than one" isn't simply a dirty pun but sums up the story's actual plot: this is the story about parasitic twins noone asked for and noone will ever be prepared for!

The anthology includes a collaborative story by the cast of Splatology 3.0, "Three's Company". This one is absolutely bonkers, a disgusting tale about triplets, crude and offensive but also wildly inventive, perhaps even obscene! I really wish Lilli from Chesapeake wouldn't touch this with a ten-foot pole LOL

Okay, that cover had me invested, I need it on a sticker or something, its amazing.

Second, those stories, I was not prepared, but should have been, I know those names !

This was a well put together anthro of some just crazy but vile horror, in a good way.
This is weirdly one of those subjects that worries me, it used to be like a huge fear that I would have a set of twins and never know which is which.

Well thanks to these stories, that fear is now the least of my worries and more, you just need to read this to understand.

Echo and Mirror was one of my top picks from this line up, I don't even really know how to describe it, other then oh my god, this one had me on edge and I just simply cannot explain it with words, maybe smoke signals but its doubtful. The way this story has you tensed and waiting, says it all.

My second pick out of this group was Widow Ridge by D.L Winchester, this story I feel like was perfect for this antho, it needed something to make you chuckle, but not in too funny of a way to ruin the vibes. This delivered, funny but dark in a way that really made the story stick with me after I had finished the whole thing.


And last but not least was the artwork in this book, apparently its done by a 13 year old who did the art for the first few pages, and I loved it.

You all know I am a sucker for art of any kind and couldnt close this review with out a little shoutout.

ARC review of Duplicated, curated by Laura Bilodeau and edited by Chisto Healy.

With stories from names both new and familiar to me, this anthology is a staggering assault from the fear-fertile territory of twins, replicants, doppelgängers, and the like. I’ll admit, few things genuinely creep me out more than a living being wearing another’s face. So any story built off that core premise has my interest immediately, and this set of tales did not disappoint.

Releasing in just two days!! You know, “two” as in “twins”. Watch out. 😳😳

(Thanks to Kat Guterman for the ARC)

Duplicated is a sharp, unsettling mix of stories that all play with the idea of duplicates—twins, triplets, clones, and other uncanny things. This has everytging from tales of the supernatural to extreme horror. Each author brings their own style, so no two stories feel alike, but they all carry that same creeping tension that sticks with you. You never quite know what the next page will bring, and the shifts in tone keep you hooked from start to finish. A great pick for anyone who enjoys short fiction that gets under your skin.

Great volume of horror shorts. Here Laura has taken nine stories that center around twins/triplets/ and such by different horror authors and complied them into one of the best anthologies of extreme horror I've read lately. Each author brings their own style to the table and the stories go from weird to extreme. The ones the stood out the most for me were "Lucky" by Jerry Blaze and "Widow Ridge" by D. L. Winchester. These are both quick reads with a very dark edge.

3/9 of these stories were worth reading, in my opinion. Meaning they were well written and felt like a complete story.

Nightmares - Rob Bilodeau

A Shared Soul - Kat Guterman

Echo and Mirror - Holly Rose Scott

Since it isn't advertised as such, I wasn't aware that this was mostly an extreme horror anthology. Aside from the 3 I mentioned, the rest are typical extreme stories: bad sex scenes and unimaginative, repetitive gore.
