This review is from: Pieces of Hate (Paperback)
Ray Garton takes horror and mixes in elements of humor and satirist commentary that cannot help but become tiny pieces of hate in a world filled with loathing. 'Pieces of Hate' is a great collection for any aficionado of horror, and a worthwhile addition to your own bloody collection.
Beginning with the impossibly good 'A Gift From Above', a novella of two estranged sisters reuniting over the shadow of cancer, 'Pieces of Hate' offers up such treasures as 'Cat Hater', a tongue-in-cheek glimpse into the secret lives of cats, the satirical 'The Devil's Music', peeking into the afterlife of today's rock stars, to the poetic 'God's Work' where a pastor attempts to rein in his wayward congregation. Garton writes with precise prose, using shades of sin and immorality to highlight his tales. He is unafraid to poke fun at talk show hosts and televangelists, using a skeletal claw to tickle their ribs and cause chunks of truth to spew from their deceitful mouths. I've just started reading Garton after stumbling across a short or two in some of my anthologies, and am pleased to say that his is a welcome addition to my shelves. The combination of great talent, horror, humor, and satire is irresistible and compelling, and I look forward to reading more of his work. Enjoy!

True to the title!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pieces of Hate (Paperback)
Each and every story in this book is a "piece of hate". In several of his stories, he hypothesizes what the world would be like if certain people or viewpoints had their way. It reminded me a little of Philip K. Dick in "The Man In the High Castle". He definetly has a liberal leaning, so extreme conservatives would probably not enjoy his stories. The horror is found through what could happen if the extreme religious right were to have their way with the U.S. I absolutely loved this book!
