Editorial Reviews

Review

...the standout for me was "Slut, Bitch, Whore". This was a dark and funny story with a great final twist. Kazimer is a new name to me but one I'll be keeping an eye out for.  ~ Savage Kick #5, Spinetingler Magazine

5.0 out of 5 stars Should be required reading... May 6, 2012

I loved this. The tales were heartbreaking, sick, painful to read, and sad. It made me FEEL. A few of these short stories should be required reading in high school - they pack a big punch. If you know an addict - or hopefully a recovering one - the stories will really speak to you. Give this book a read - you'll learn something.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awe inspiring and frightening November 26, 2012

Often caught off guard, this is a book that will make you contemplate life and the disease of addiction. It will sometimes move you to tears, but more than anything, it will fill you with gratitude. But, for the grace of God, go I.

From the darkest side. Hard reading as so sad the lives...had to put down after a few stories as the creepiness almost came to life.
