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

Charlie is a quiet man. He keeps himself to himself at work, vues the world through highly practical eyes, is meticulous to a fault and incredible thrifty. He avoids any kind of personal contact with people and cares not a jot about anybody's feelings, desires, ideas ou personalities. He is also a very successful serial killer. 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...

After following the Horror Society on Twitter for a while, I was very excited to read this book. The people in the society know their stuff and with this book no gut is left un-churned, no twist denied and no moral ground left intact.
Included are eleven short stories:
LOAF DIVINE par Canaan Frank: A hotel seeks out the twisted secrets that lie within the past and conscience of a man
DEAD RINGERS par David Blackthorn: College students have an eventful night sleeping amongst the graves of plague victims
A VAMPIRE WALKS INTO A BAR par Aaron rayon, ray Ballard: A bar that plays host to many unnatural beasts...

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 par Michael Laimo: An inherited fusil, carabine holds terrible memories and depraved secrets for a seriously demented killer.
VIOLENCE FOR FUN AND PROFIT par Gregory L.Norris: Vengeance becomes political manifesto in this warped view of post-Bush America.
AMPUTATIONS IN THE KEY OF D par Jack Maddox: A rock étoile, star goes for a routine wart removal and ends up losing...

Being the president must be a difficult job. The last thing toi need is to be infected with lice while half of America turns into vegetables and gets eaten par their pets.
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 célébrités serviced par prostitutes amongst others. The horror here is disgustingly brilliant, twisted to the extreme but always with an underlying wit and intelligence that makes every story fresh and wholly satisfying to read. Although...

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 fans 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 toi 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.
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 loup 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 jour Nora walks into his life who precedes, within a very short l’espace 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 toi 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 toi 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 toi don't care about dies? No matter how visceral ou detailed that characters demise, without invested emotions it just doesn't resonate.
Luckily for the reader, with this story, toi will care.
Elliot Tather has a good life. A happy wife,...

This is the first John Everson story I have read and after this I will definitely par lire more. If this gruesome, bleak and gory little tale is anything like his other works, true horror fans should not be disappointed.

In this novella we met three kids, all on a rapid downward spiral. Unpopular and rejected par others, desperate and pitiful in their actions, wasting their lives with drugs, sex, self-mutilation and suicidal thinking. All class themselves as complete failures until along comes Aaron. An older gentlemen who feasts on the ripe opportunity to lure the three no-hoper's into a horrific...

Let me first say that I do not read Sci-fi very often. I'm plus of a horror fan, but this book has enough absolutely terrifying versions of the future ou different realities that, to me, it can be classified as horror because there is nothing plus frightening than the unknown.
Included:
HOW TO MAKE A HUMAN par Martin Rose: Robots made to re-create humans after Armageddon find the intricacies of the human soul difficult to duplicate.
ANGIE par John F.D Taff: A bittersweet tale of loyalty and l’amour in the face of a zombie apocalypse backed par the old 'Rolling Stones' song.
ON THE THRESHOLD par William...

There are a myriad of ways the World as we know it could end. Will it be cataclysmic like nuclear bomb drops, huge volcanic eruptions, continent destroying earthquakes ou invasions of violent mutations? ou will it be something plus slight that ends us like a financial meltdown ou simple human greed and stupidity. Whatever the cause, the truth is the world will end someday and that jour may well be today. Thankfully while society is still rumbling along nicely we all have the time to read apocalypse stories instead of wasting our time searching for nourriture and clean water whilst hiding from gangs...

Urban legends are everywhere. Everyone has one. Some toi may hear time and time again, each time the story may change a little but basically it's the same. Then there are myths of local legend. An escaped mental patient here, a restless ghost there, a spirit of a child who cries...you know what I mean. Basically, once you've read one book on Urban Legends, you've read them all. But, this book is different. The twist to this collection of ten short stories is that the writers involved are clever. They know toi know, they know that toi think toi know the ending so, with that in mind, they have...

H.P.Lovecraft and his works have inspired quite a few modern jour horror writers. Some admit to his influence and use it as a springboard for their own works while some deny any knowledge whilst stealing heavily from the the great author. Thankfully Mr Gonzalez falls into the first category and this collection of short horror fiction excels at giving a macabre modern twist on some of Lovecraft's fundamental themes. Borrowing place names and situations to delve deep into the mythos that Lovecraft created, that of cults and conspiracies, of Old Gods that now banished from this realm await the...

There are seventeen tales here. All of which originated in some way from Post Mortem Press. It is a grand collection of short horror fiction written not only par some of the plus well known horror writers around today (Jonathan Mayberry. F Paul Wilson) but also par some names toi may not be familiar with.

Stories included are:

The Stranger par Jason Downes; A mysterious man makes a late night call to collect a debt that was promised to him a long time ago.

Sewer Rats par C. Bryan Brown; A trio of kids adventuring in the sewers beneath their town soon discover something lurking deep in the darkness....

There are ten short stories here with no stinkers in the bunch. In fact, I enjoyed this book so much that I finished it in one sitting, constantly saying just one plus story, just one plus story and then when I had finished I wanted more.

There are a mixture of genres included here. A little bit of erotica, gore, gross, mystical, magical, twisted and nasty. You're personal tolerance for horror is your own of course, but this is certainly not the nastiest most horrific collection I have read but it does have enough great stories that, once read, sit at the back of your head and scratch at your...

Here is a eccentric and eclectic selection of bizarro short stories par one of the leading writers in the field Andersen Prunty.
There are over twenty tales in all, covering such weirdness as a man who puts a dog into orbit, a father who throws rocks at a kids head, a balloon-man who loses his secret power and a competition that revolves around injuring pedestrians to earn points and win money.
All these stories are exceptionally well written, brimming with invention and weirdness. Some lean on the horrific side of literature,some the plus humorous and some a wild mixture of sorrow, fear and hope.
If toi are new to the bizarro fiction movement, toi could start here quite happily. This book isn't as extreme in terms of sex and violence as other collections but none the less an enthralling read about seeing the world through a glass askew.
This is a collection of 24 short stories all with a wicked, nasty twist on a holiday. From Earth jour to Christmas,each story is incredibly horrific, demented and disturbing, not to mention well written, engaging and funny. Some of the best horror writers have added to this collection included Wrath James White, Bentley Little and Jack Ketchum, plus many more. The tales include Natures revenge on Earth Day. Torture at Easter. A nasty Mother's jour present for an unwilling father and bloody sacrifice to every and any God that may ou may not exist.
I have read quite a few short story collections and this is one of the best I've read. I think I liked it because not matter how dark, gross and horrifying the stories there's an underlying insane Glee to all of them like mad people laughing at the moon while they eat their own fingers. There isn't a bad ou boring story on montrer here. All are well-written and the piece on the whole is also well edited.
Try this ebook, it's brilliant.
Thank you.
