3.0 out of 5 stars
Too few gems,
This review is from: Bare Bone #11 (Paperback)
Included within the pages of Bare Bones #11 are 18 short tales of horror and 10 dark poems. The majority of the stories are around 5 pages long, and the text is tightly packed so there is a lot of story within each of those pages. The stories range from little boys daring each other to taunt a serial killer, to insurance reps killing (and having their way with) their customers. Some of these tales are fantastic, others are fairly weak. With the wide variety of authors from all across both the US and UK, there is probably something here to suit most horror fans. I found there to be more misses than hits, however the hits were well worth the read. Some of my personal favorites were "NM" and "Chupacabra." If you like gore, many of these tales have it, if you like violent sex, that's here too. Profanity abounds in some of these tales so be warned if you are a sensitive reader. What this book lacked, was a quiet brooding creepy tale, these are more "In your face" horror.
Examples of some of these tales are - A man forced to eat his dead wife's heart to keep a piece of her with him, a strange Hee Haw version of Hell, a town gone mad over the death of a princess, and a man making a punching bag of himself. Though most are well written, there are some that are not as strong as others. It is unfortunate that the strong and entertaining stories did not outnumber the weaker or less interesting ones. Rating - R for gore, violence, sex, rape, profanity.
