Take a gay club add a bunch of zombies and what do tu 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 día 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 tu care about what happens to the survivors and that is sometimes forgotten in libros of this type. Of course there's still the requisite amount of guts and gore with plenty of violence and the pace of the story never slackens as we hurtle towards the ending which happens to be both upbeat and upsetting at the same time.
This is an excellent little novella filled with characters tu don't get to read about too often and certainly not ever as the heroes of the piece. There is also a slight commentary on the treatment and assessment of gay in society and the depiction of gays in fiction. This doesn't subtract from the novella at all, in fact it enriches it, giving tu an extra dimension to consider.
I will definitely be getting más stories from this author.

There is a movement in the literary industry that I thought I'd bring your attention to. Collectively it is known as Bizarro. The literary equivalent of the cult section in the video store, these libros are brimming with inventiveness that usually circles around the grotesque, creepy, erotic and just plain weird and nasty. Like looking through the eyes of David Lynch when he's having a cheese nightmare, some of the writers that deal in the Bizarro deserve más attention. Authors like Carlton Mellick, Wrath James White, Edward Lee and many more, mostrar that novels are not dead and that horror doesn't have to be a diluted toothless monster that is predictable as it is boring. These 'extreme horror' libros also posses an intelligence within the ideas that can be social, political o psycho. If tu like your horror truly disturbing and mind-bending, check out some of these authors and their works.Thank you.
These tales are not for the weak of corazón o stomach as they deal with some horrid little topics that are highly enjoyable. Edward Lee's escritura sucks the reader into each twisted little scenario and makes your skin crawl, makes tu think, makes tu want to keep on reading, never knowing what will happen siguiente and dreading the siguiente page.
This is real horror. Don't expect happy endings and sugar coated stories of 'likeable' people doing 'nice' things. This is down dirty and nasty.
Highly recommended for horror fans with a brain... and a strong constitution.
If tu like horror short stories por new, interesting authors I recommend the Bizarro Starter Kit books. There are three in all; Blue,Orange and Purple and they are available at Amazon.com among other places. In the U.K tu may find it hard to find these libros at the bookshop(I did) so the web is your best bet and if tu enjoy lectura things that are strange, horrific and utterly unpredictable, the I would give these libros a try. Also, tu will be introduced to some truly excellent, although rather unknown authors, which is always a good thing. Thank you.
In this collection of short horror fiction you'll find a little of everything. This book is not really hardcore horror but there is a bit of blood flying around along with deadly paranoia on board a el espacio shuttle, a dark cellar that may contain a yellow eyed monster with teeth and a uncertain afterlife for a cancer patient. The stories are all very well written and edited and I read this entire collection in one day. It was thoroughly entertaining and some of the stories give me a little shiver with some genuinely inventive and unique takes on horror.
There's bound to be something in here for any kind of horror fan, no matter your tastes. It was also nice to read some authors that I had never read before and it spurred me on to discover más about them and their other works.
This is an ebook and relatively cheap for the quality of the story telling on show. I would recommend picking this up and if tu do I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Although this book is somewhat fantastical, it's closeness to reality is all too noticeable and uncomfortable. Do we pregunta where meat comes from,how it gets on our own table? Well don't be surprised if,after lectura this brilliant,complex, well-written and engaging book, tu cannot look at a chuleta de cerdo the same again.
