Reviews

[Peter · Rating 3 out of 5]

The story collection started very strong with Strippers (you'll meet some very unusual women here), Room 7 (a kind of Sweeney Todd meets Norman Bates) and Mr Moustache (what a satire on Freddy Mercury). The next three stories (Party Crashers, Dedication and When All The Lights Go Out) couldn't catch up with the first ones. A bit too long and not that intriguing. So a solid three here but in any case recommended for all who want to get better aquainted with the bizarre world of the author.

"What you have here are six tales that, at times, could not be more different. You have strippers and clowns and bouncers and babies. You have laughs and sexy stuff and blood and guts. You have more blood and guts. You have tension. A lot of tension. That tension invariably leads to horror."

Consumed Volume 2

[Christina McDonald · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great collection

Although I enjoyed every story, I especially liked Mr. Mustache, Strippers & when all the lights go out. Such descriptive and poetic gruesome horror...yay! Recommend to all fans of modern horror!

Kyle was kind enough to give me a copy of Consumed to review and I was pretty excited because I have been waiting for this volume for a long time. I'm a huge fan of this guy's work and you can see that with each release he's growing as a writer. He's not content to just gross you out he has the ability to make you think a little. Each of these stories has an underlying message and it's your job as the reader to figure out what that message is. The fact is that Kyle is a damn good writer. He knows how to balance the sheer insanity and gore into a story so that it's a piece of the work itself. These are characters that you can also sympathize with a little.

As a collection it holds up pretty damn well. The second volume is actually better than the first and is just as dark. You can call Kyle a splatterpunk, or a horror writer. Both are correct. Fans of Laymon will see his influence in quite a few of these stories, and that's not a bad thing. Scott is a reminder of how great horror used to be. It had a soul, and a desire to be different. When you read Consumed Volume 2 you're in for one hell of a ride. It's shocking and at times a bit offensive, and that's what horror is supposed to be. You can't write effective horror without these two ingredients. It's nice to see that Kyle's writing has evolved and he writes like no one else.

This is the collection Scott fans have been waiting for and let me tell you it was worth the wait. These are stories that you don't want to read before you go to bed because you won't end up sleeping. You'll keep reading and soon you'll realize that you can't stop reading. When people ask me what horror writers I recommend Kyle's name always comes up due to his knack for writing great horror. It's a book that you should check out and then while your there you should grab all of his books. You'll actually thank me after you read them all.

As most of you know, I think Kyle M. Scott is a great author, and this book of shorts proves it again.

I enjoyed all of the stories, especially the last one. What a great ending line. How true it is. Nothing ever really ends, does it?

Strippers was good, can't beat the revenge of women.

Room 7 I had already read in an anthology, good one and gruesome.

And have to love the last line in Mr Moustache.

If you haven't read anything by Kyle M. Scott, Consumed Volume 1 and 2 would be great ones to start with.

4 out of 5 stars.

Riveting

So glad I chose this book . Kyle.M.Scott did not disappoint .He paints a graphic picture within his words .

[Brian Mcclain · Rating 5 out of 5]

Probably not going to have as much staying power with me as the first one but still a great collection of some rather blooddrenched horror with meaning.
