Lurid cover, cheap feel and one too many typos don’t make for a good first impression. But it’s the contents that count.

This is a collection of bizarre horror stories. Several have previously been published in magazines such as Orb and Bloodsongs, but the majority are making their first appearance here. Unfortunately there was nothing about this collection that really stood out for me. The stories range from ho-hum ("An Oldie But A Goodie") through to interesting but uninspired ("Territory").

The author certainly shows imagination and he’s capable of stringing words together to form a coherant plot… so I can’t really put my finger on why I didn’t particularly like this book. Perhaps is just a matter of personal taste. Read it and make up your own mind.
