Jim Groves is back with Volume 2 of his weird horror anthology, and somehow it's even better than the first. Now don't get me wrong, Volume 1 was fantastic. But this collection just hit differently. Every story brought something unique to the table, and once I started, I couldn't put it down. One of my favourite things about anthologies is discovering new authors, and this one absolutely delivered. It was great to see familiar names I already love, like Tim King, alongside newer favourites such as Laura Bilodeau, plus plenty of writers I'd never come across before but will definitely be adding to my TBR. If you're a fan of strange, unsettling, imaginative horror, this collection deserves a place on your shelf.
First of all, who wouldn't like a graphic anthology that includes some of the most deranged brains in modern horror? There are fifteen strange slasher stories written by fifteen different authors in this book. Every story is unique in its own way—brutal, bizarre, unsettling, and downright disturbing. Once I started reading, I couldn’t put it down because I was constantly wondering just how shocking, gruesome, or completely unhinged the next story would be.
15 bizarre slasher tales by 15 different authors, some veterans in the genre and others new voices.
Intense and unsettling, this collection has a little something for everyone. I was surprised at how many different directions these stories went. Not once could I guess where a story was going to go.

I enjoyed all of the stories, but some of my favorite short stories are: • Cheating Pig by Juliet Rose • Tabitha by Timothy King • Stovetop by Mark Conway • It’s Lonely by D.Z. Hollow • Nutter Butter by Laura Bilodeau • Don’t look Back by J King • Holy Diver by Damien Casey
**I highly recommend grabbing this anthology and helping donate to Scares That Care!!**
Bizarre Splatter Patterns: A Bizzaro Splatterpunk Anthology was terrifying good and oh so strange.

Don’t think to much about what you are getting yourself into just do it and enjoy the twisted collage of messed up tale from start to finish.
