5.0 out of 5 stars
The best of rock n'roll and horror fiction combined,
By A Customer
This review is from: Shock Rock II: Shock Rock II (Paperback)
I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys horror stories and rock n'roll. The stories contained within it's pages combine the best of both these worlds. Anyone who has ever seen Alice Cooper's live show will agree that rock and horror go together so well that a book of this kind was meant to be. I also recommend the first book as it is what got me to buy the second! Well done to all the contributing authors of this anthology!
4.0 out of 5 stars
Severed Chords, Slashed Throats: The Violence, OH YEAH THE VIOLENCE!!,
This review is from: Shock Rock II: Shock Rock II (Paperback)
Succinct sagas of devastating dismemberment, strangling of souls, sinking of spirits, hacking off of limbs and burying them in remote locations, etc. etc. etc. This book is a landscape of human frailties and supernatural malevolence, tales told to the haunted pulse of the doomed orphans of humankind--the rock 'n' roll rascals of the 20th century (although the stories speak so loudly to future wizards of the scene). Two furiously ill-conceived misfires: "The Red Sax" by Bill Mumy and Peter David is hackneyed (Strike 2 for the deadly dull duo; their contribution in the 1st Shock Rock compilation was equally idiotic) and "Graveyard Shift" by Jeff Gelb is just an example of amateurish writing. BUY THE BOOK!! NEGLECTING ITS MESSAGE WILL CURSE YOU TO MUZAK-INFESTED AUDIO NIGHTMARES FOR THE REMAINDER OF YOUR TENURE ON THIS REVOLVING GREEN AND BLUE SPECK!!
