Flash fiction seems to be a growing trend and in this ebook it is done brilliantly. Using EXACTLY 100 words for a story must be tricky,to instantly interest the reader but not leave them frustrated that the story ended too soon. Most of the stories included here deal with zombies. Seen from many angles there is a crude nasty humour that runs throughout most of them. It tasteless and dark but magnificent and exactly what horror fan want. There are other stories included that are of normal short story length and deal with different topics that include apocalypse and weird fantasy.
This collection is high on quality and although anda may read it in one sitting some of the tales here will stay in your head for a while after. Well written and edited it is definitely worth your time.

Take a gay club add a bunch of zombies and what do anda get? This refreshing take on the zombie apocalypse myth. Gone are the stereotypical collection of survivors that we normally get in these stories. There's no ex-military muscle bound hero that saves the hari with the big guns. The characters here are just regular people, scared and clueless as to what's happening, relying on each other despite their desperate situation. It always makes the story better when anda care about what happens to the survivors and that is sometimes forgotten in buku of this type. Of course there's still the requisite...

From these golden memories he flips it to the the halloween tahun when the real bogeyman came out to play; The Zodiac Killer. It's a very interesting...

This a short story collection that spans two things that I enjoy membaca the most; horror and bizarre.
Although the judul of this book alludes to it being all about apocalypses, it is not. While there are some tales here that are about the end of the world, many lebih are very personal takes on the horrific and/or weird.
There are over twenty short stories included. Some of which are, the evolution and destruction of self aware trash puppets. A man who has bayi mysteriously appear in his apartment. A down- trodden young woman who finds out something disturbing about her father. A man endlessly...

Being a fan of extreme horror I had high hopes for this collection. I haven't read anything oleh John Putignano before so I was also excited to find a new horror penulis that I can follow in the future. Happily I have.

From necrophilia to cannibalism, madness, possession, Satanic rituals and murder all feature along with added oddities like harmonious frogs, strange medical conditions and even a quick mention of Horror Hero H.P.Lovecraft.

For anyone who knows the work of penulis Edward Lee, anda probably know the high quality of his menulis and also the sort of horror topics he covers. There's nothing here to disappoint his fans.

This is an excellent book. The penulis manages to weave numerous characters, scenarios and themes together seamlessly. If anda like vampires, manusia serigala atau zombies atau just like a good 'end of the world' yarn then you'll find something here to enjoy. The story is subtly underpinned oleh a religious tone that while being moralistic stays clear of being too preachy as to put the reader off. Add to that moments of sparkling wit and pitch black humour anda have yourself a very entertaining and intelligent novel where the twists and turns in the plot flow as freely as the buckets of gore.A brilliant horror novel. Enjoy. Thank anda for reading.
On July 1991 Jeffrey Dahmer the notorious cannibalistic serial killer was captured oleh police.
On November 28, 1994 Dahmer was beaten to death oleh another inmate...Or was he?
What if Jeff didn't really die that day. What if it was all a elaborate hoax? What if Dahmer found a way to escape jail oleh faking his own death?
These 'what-if's' are the basis for this taut gripping story. Part horror. Part conspiracy theory. Part police procedural. This story is all the lebih terrifying for the amazing amount of detail and believability that is imbued on every page.

Detective Helen Closs is a highly successful...

An inventive, enjoyable and surprisingly heart-warming take on the serial killer thriller.

Keeping his killings to a strict schedule, he allows himself to hunt for a new victim once every two months and always aims for victims which he considers low risk i.e junkies...

The best thing about this short story collection is it's brazenness. It is violently visceral book staining with gore and bulging with pure nastiness. In short it's a book that any real literary horror fan should relish.
The stories include:
HEIRLOOM oleh Michael Laimo: An inherited senapan holds terrible memories and depraved secrets for a seriously demented killer.
VIOLENCE FOR FUN AND PROFIT oleh Gregory L.Norris: Vengeance becomes political manifesto in this warped view of post-Bush America.

This is a horror short story collection all based around the premise of presidents and/or the White House.
There's ghosts, a zombie, a werewolf, a botched assassination attempt, re-animated dead artis serviced oleh prostitutes amongst others.

There is an over-abundance of werewolf tales available in all forms of entertainment so finding a fresh take on this old story is very difficult but this book manages to discover one. The idea here is that a serigala lives within some people (albeit latent) just sitting there waiting for the right set of circumstances and a large amount of provocation.

The story revolves around a everyday guy called Syd, for whom life is downbeat and boring then one hari Nora walks into his life who precedes, within a very short luar angkasa of time, to turn his humdrum life upside down. Nora is no normal woman and the...

Horror stories evoke fear; it is the nature of the beast. So rarely do anda find a horror story that causes other emotions to stir. But a good horror writer knows that in order for the fear to really pay off anda have to engage the readers with not just the concept of the story but with the characters that populate the world of the story. So what if a character anda don't care about dies? No matter how visceral atau detailed that characters demise, without invested emotions it just doesn't resonate.
Luckily for the reader, with this story, anda will care.
