2.0 out of 5 stars Bored Bedfellows, April 10, 2005

This review is from: Strange Bedfellows (Hot Blood, Book 12) (Paperback)

I have been a fan of the Hot Blood series since I picked up the first one in 1988. I tend to look forward to new installments. However, this is the first book in the series that I have found seriously lacking. The stories are amateurish and hokey. With previous books in the series I have finished the entire book in a day or two. In this installment, I have found that it has taken me a day or two to get through one story. The first story 'Abomination' took a week for me to read, simply because it wasn't very engrossing. For Erotica, that says a lot. After reading a few lines of 'The Last Man on Earth', I began to think the rest of the story should be written in crayon. It wasn't all terrible, 'Ragnall Redux', 'Dance', and 'Thirty Minutes' stand out as Hot Blood calibre stories, but the other 16 were either so-so or completely dreadful. Even the Editors contributions, which are normally not the best stories, seemed pieced together. It's as though they felt nobody would read far enough to notice how bad their entries were.

This review is from: Strange Bedfellows (Hot Blood, Book 12) (Paperback)

The stories in this book grow more gruesome with every publication.All brand new ideas,Hot Blood continues to push the envelope between sex and horror with tales such as "Ragnall Redux","The Lost Herd" "Thirty Minutes" and by god, my most favorite tale of sex and vengenance..."The Last Man on Earth"

If you are a fan of everlasting horror,do not miss out on this gripping,captivating,and ghoulish anthology to ever come out of the Hot Blood series,bar none!

5.0 out of 5 stars best volume yet?, October 19, 2004

Tons of great stories in this new Hot Blood volume - the writers keep topping themselves with new ideas! Greg Kihn starts the book with a wild story involving Siamese twins, and Graham Masterton tops anything he's done yet for the series with a story that will twist your mind into knots. And all the stories in between are fascinating as well! Kudos to the Hot Blood writers!
