ZIPPERED FLESH 3: YET MORE TALES OF BODY ENHANCEMENTS GONE !

by Weldon Burge

What horror anthology on body enhancements wouldn’t include gross-out fiction? This book has it in spades. But, this collection of stories goes far beyond that. Here you will also find science fiction, surreal fiction, fantasy, and even a full serving of dark humor. Disturbing, perverse, often gut-wrenching (pun intended) stories—all between the covers of this anthology!
Nineteen chilling tales by some of the best horror and suspense writers today. Definitely not for the squeamish!

"Hardcore horror that ranges from the socially relevant to the scatologically repulsive—the shock here is like 'The Scream' made flesh." — Mort Castle, editor of On Writing Horror: A Handbook by the Horror Writers Association

"In Zippered Flesh 3, Editor Weldon Burge has done a masterful job of combining work from well-known masters like Jack Ketchum and Graham Masterton with newer writers. But it is the original work by newcomers like L.L. Soares and Meghan Acuri that stands out for me. ... Highly recommended." — Gene O'Neill, author of The Hitchhiking Effect: A Retrospective Collection

"'Closer by Charles Colyott is a wonderfully poignant and romantic story. ... 'Going Green' by Christine Morgan is so original, timely, and well-written it deserves special mention. ... Kudos to Burge for putting together another fine anthology of cutting-edge fiction." — Paul Dale Anderson, author of The Instruments of Death series

Hardcore horror that ranges from the socially relevant to the scatologically repulsive - a disgusting delight. Some really strong stories, with some surprising diversity in themes and content.

When I read an anthology like this I try not to look at the author's name. Because if they are one of my favorites I don't want to make myself love it just because the name. There are quite a few authors in this book that I hadn't heard of, but really loved their stories. I admit that after a few pages I skipped two of these stories (just because they didn't pull me in). But there were many memorable stories in here. A human head on a dog body, implanted cell phones, tape worms and hypochondria were a few of my favorites. Each story was unique. And some were super fun. For example, the story about people ridding of body parts as they age. It literally made me LOL at the end. If you are a fan of body horror the you will like this book
