Status Updates From Year's Best Hardcore Horror...

What's worst: well, this one, so far. This one is the worst. There was nothing scary or "hardcore" about this, just psychological horror that builds to a very unsatisfying ending. It felt like the author was either parodying the genre or had no idea how to write it, so he settled for edgy jokes instead. The character's insanity was fun, though, I'll give him that. 2/5.

Reborn: this is the kind of story I was hoping for. Fun read, although the writing style was not my favorite. Either 3/5 or 4/5.

So far I must say these stories are not what I expected from a "hardcore horror" collection, they seem more like regular horror or thriller to me.
