No other story has touched as many hearts and endeared itself into the American Fabric as The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L Frank Baum. But Like all fairy tales, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz has one foot planted in the fantastic and another foot planted firmly in blood. Explore the darker side of Oz...the parts too terrifying or obscene to be told as bedtime stories. 19 tales from some of today's hottest Indie writers peel back the emerald layers of the Land of Oz and reveal the pink, bloody flesh beneath. Shadows DO fall in the Emerald city, and where they are their darkest you will find the true terror of Oz.

Twist, dark, Oz goodness,
By
This review is from: Shadows of the Emerald City (Kindle Edition)
If you have $2.99 and are itching for an ebook, you must go purchase "Shadows of the Emerald City. It's that good.
I confess that I own the paperback, which I purchased from the Northern Frights Publishings's booth at Edmonton's Pure Spec convention in October. So, I'm cheating just a tiny bit here. However, the words are all the same and, at that $2.99, you just can't go wrong with this book. I'm not a Wizard of Oz fan and I'm really not a horror/twisted dark fiction fan. So, when I say that I felt this was well-written, well-compiled, and well-edited, you are hearing this from a non-fan of the genre. There were a few stories I had to stop reading; otherwise, I'd need to sleep with the lights on for a week. And yet, I felt compelled to still give the next story a try. I found myself pushing my own limits in the genre because I enjoyed the short stories in this so much. I'm so happy to see a new publisher really pushing the limits by putting out this anthology. It's outstanding. It's creepy. It's twisted. And it will change your view of Oz forever. (Review originally posted on [...]) Krista D. Ball author of Harvest Moon

The dark underbelly of OZ will have you grinning like a loon!,
By Jay (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Shadows of the Emerald City (Paperback)
Normally when you think of OZ, you picture the colorful world from the MGM classic - not in this book! OZ is a bleak world full of horror, perversity and gore - and I loved it! 19 spectacular stories for your reading pleasure - guaranteed to change your perception about the other side of the Rainbow. It's really cool seeing some of the pre-Dorothy happenings as well as how Dorothy affected the happy little world.
While every story was pure enjoyment, the top 3 stories that stood out for me were JW Schnarr's 'Dorothy of OZ', Rajan Khanna's 'Pumpkinhead' & Lori T.Strongin's 'Not in Kansas Anymore'. Someone forward a copy of this to Tim Burton so we could see one of these stories on the big screen!
