From the Publisher
Charlee Jacob is the undisputed Queen of Hardcore Horror. Over the past decade, she has gained the respect of readers and critics alike by going where no woman (or man) has gone through fiction before. Not only is she a master at the extreme, she is also one of the finest storytellers in the genre. It’s only a matter of time until she takes the throne atop horror’s most noted authors in print today.
When you read Jacob’s work, you never forget it. It stays with you, whether it’s her poetic voice or vivid, grotesque imagination that seems utterly beautiful once she begins to paint the words on the page. Charlee has collected a legion of underground fans who have followed her to the mass markets with the re-release of her first novel This Symbiotic Fascination.
And this is just the beginning. Her passion and talent will surely surpass her being the Queen of Hardcore Horror and lead her down the much broader path of being the undisputed Queen of Horror.

A poet's quill dipped straight into a beating heart,
By
This review is from: Guises (Paperback)
Charlee Jacob has developed a distinctive style of horror fiction, writing perhaps unparalleled scenes of gore and ickiness to make the most hardened splatterpunk squirm, but with the poetic prose of a true artist, and without the misogyny usually associated with such visceral work. Indeed, Jacob's women are strong, scary, at least as dangerous as her male characters. No writer I know of can so consistently and effectively blend beauty with violence and decay. She has a singular and breath-taking imagination, a singular and fascinating prose style. Simply put, Charlee Jacob is one of the very best practitioners of modern horror.

If Nightmare were given a pen...,
By "demonboy" (Brooklyn, CT United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Guises (Paperback)
The power and the poetry...the beauty and the horror...as thick and rich as a garden of unearthly delights... With a fascination for the grotesque and a true insight into the eternal, Charlee Jacob's unique literary vision is both disarming and disturbing. If Nightmare were given a pen, Jacob's hand would be its operator. Highly recommended.

Jacob's latest is great,
This review is from: Guises (Paperback)
I couldn't decide where to start; GUISES is Charlee Jacob's latest collection from Delirium Books. I recieved it in the maila few days ago,and there are no words I can use to describe the stories in this book. I'll try: Charlee Jacob does what she does better than anyone else; she constructs stories of heart-stopping beauty and doesn't shy away from gruesome images. Believe me, she'll make you see horrible,beautiful things. To read Jacob is to be dragged naked but happy through blood-soaked fields of broken glass. As a bonus,besides her incredible stories,there are POEMS. Get this or remain ignorant about modern horror.
