I'd give this collection 6 stars if I could. Sex and violence at a twisted finest! Within these pages you'll find some of the sickest ... blackest ... most ghoulish stories anyone could wish to read, along with some rejection letters bound to make you smile. A blood-drenched feeding frenzy of horror awaits ... exactly the kind expected from JEA, off-the-chain editor Jim Goforth, and the unbalanced imaginations of this TOC of writers! I know RFC4 is in the works ... and I'm rocking ... back and forth ... in a filthy, secluded corner ... waiting ...
A Great selection of various authors in the genre of Extreme horror. Each one has a task to send a finished story to fictitious publishers. After each story there is a hilarious denial of why they can't or wont publish the story. The stories are very gory (Yea!) Some have a bit of tongue in cheek. Some are sexually extreme (so be aware) All in all this was a winner in a winning set of books.
I bought this for Matthew Cash's short story, which, like his other work, didn't disappoint. Good selection of horror in general. The short story 'Someone Else's Song' I thought had the potential to be extended into a novel.
This was my introduction to extreme horror and let’s just say I’m still reading it today.
The icing on the cake is the rejection letters. I loved reading the letters and I feel it really added to the content and made the anthology unique from others.
