Iron Canuck

Some of these stories were unexpected. Some were actually touching considering the subject matter. Some a little creepy. I enjoyed the imagination of the different writers, the way their stories unfolded. This is not for the faint at heart with some of the endings. There were times I wanted to finis...

* The reality of addiction is darker than any fiction. * "Drinking and drugging provide the height of human experience. It's the promise of heaven on earth, but the hell that follows is a constant hunger, a cold emptiness." Before I read even one story in this 'reality horror' anthology - Mark Ma...

This is a truly excellent collection of short stories all about the struggle of addiction. All have a horror twist and there isn’t a dud in the bunch. If I didn’t have to work, feed and clean up after people all the live-long day, I would’ve finished it in one sitting because it’s that good. I’m not...

This one is fun for the whole family - Ghostly gangbangs, haunted mahjong tiles, eHow exorcisms and gallons of blood and Stoli raining down over the halls of Cherrywood Lodge. Nice. A wild ride full of violence, disgrace, domination and indulgence. And no shortage of ghost cock. Yep, that's right. G...

I actually thought I downloaded this book via NetGalley but it must not have went through so I bought the book instead as it was archived before I got to it. This is a book that I think the teenagers and YA will enjoy. They are random sh...

Let it Snow! Season's Readings for a Super-Cool Yule! I selected this book because of the pretty tree cover and it's still around the holidays and in the northeast we've had two snow events so far.There are 10 stories in this book, quite far from normal I've been told...Excellent way to learn and re...

One line from the introduction to this collection, possibly, ruined the entire thing for me. “Destroy the Brothers Grimm.” The editor wanted “new stories that twisted the sterilized and cutely mouse-eared folktales of our time and returned them to darker places…” This implied to me that the edito...

Some wild variation in quality, here; there were a couple of pieces that made me wince to read them, and a few dark, creepy, really quite clever ones. On balance more good than bad--particularly appreciated "Hallowed Ground", the scene-setting of "Visions of Parin", the actual examining of what non...

*I received a free ARC of this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review*I'm not sure yet how to rate this book. Parts of it were really good, and others left me quite confused. I need to go over my notes and highlights before I can write a full review. This and other reviews can also be f...
