4.0 out of 5 stars Erotic horror that is also satirical, July 17, 2002

This review is from: Hottest Blood (Hot Blood )

Erotic horror would seem to be a genre that would appeal only to twisted minds. Since I don't consider myself a member of that fraternity, I was initially very skeptical about the quality of this book. However, after reading the first story, I realized that either my mind is twisted or the stories are superb. Of course, I come down on the side of the latter.
The stories really kept my attention, which is saying a great deal, as horror is not something that I read on a regular basis. My favorite was "Sex Object", where a woman has additional sex organs transplanted into her body in order to be able to be the single woman at a multi-male orgy so that she can please her husband. As satire on the lengths that some women will go in order to be sexually pleasing, it was quite good. A close second is "Hillbetties", a rather ingenious take on the classic farmer's daughter jokes that were so common years ago.
There is more originality in this collection of stories than in most best of collections of science fiction, which is what I usually read. However, it is not for everyone and many of the stories should be read as a form of grotesque satire to be appreciated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vampires Have Nothing On the Ghoul on the Next Bar Stool..., April 2, 2006

This review is from: Hottest Blood (Paperback)

This is one of those books that you take on the plane on a red eye flight and find yourself wide awake looking at the people around you wondering "is one of them a demon waiting to seduce and kill me".

It's witty and creppy and makes you wonder about the girl next door and the tender of your favorite pub.

Arousing and terrifying it's always good to be "Scared Stiff" so to speak (with all respect to Graham Masterson).

I read this a few years ago and loved it. It's scary, funny, and a turn on.
