There is a movement in the literary industry that I thought I'd bring your attention to. Collectively it is known as Bizarro. The literary equivalent of the cult section in the video store, these Книги are brimming with inventiveness that usually circles around the grotesque, creepy, erotic and just plain weird and nasty. Like looking through the eyes of David Lynch when he's having a cheese nightmare, some of the writers that deal in the Bizarro deserve еще attention. Authors like Carlton Mellick, Wrath James White, Edward Lee and many more, Показать that novels are not dead and that horror doesn't have to be a diluted toothless monster that is predictable as it is boring. These 'extreme horror' Книги also posses an intelligence within the ideas that can be social, political или psycho. If Ты like your horror truly disturbing and mind-bending, check out some of these authors and their works.Thank you.

Carnal Surgery is a collection of short stories that are in turns bleak, brilliant, terrifying, nasty and weirdly moralistic.
These tales are not for the weak of сердце или stomach as they deal with some horrid little topics that are highly enjoyable. Edward Lee's Письмо sucks the reader into each twisted little scenario and makes your skin crawl, makes Ты think, makes Ты want to keep on reading, never knowing what will happen Далее and dreading the Далее page.
This is real horror. Don't expect happy endings and sugar coated stories of 'likeable' people doing 'nice' things. This is down dirty and nasty.
Highly recommended for horror Фаны with a brain... and a strong constitution.

Technically this is a novella rather than a full length doorstop of a book but it's concise-ness works well in a getting to the point kind of way. A small group of people have survived an Apocalypse and waste their days floundering for purpose in this new abandoned world. Then one день a stranger shows up, tells the group about a bar on the end of the world, a Utopian vision of sorts where the well of пиво, эль, эля is never dry then, as mysteriously as he arrives, the stranger disappears and the survivors set out on a road-trip to find this mythical place. This book is beautifully written, as alcohol is used to conjure up memories of the past, of loved-ones Остаться в живых forever and magic moments gone. There is also horror, suspense and a little violence here making it,overall, a brilliant short book. Thank you.

This is a collection of short stories, all of them of the horrific kind that deal with the topic of faith in it's many forms from voodoo healing ( a lot of maggots) to a priest out for revenge. Wrath James White is a brutal writer, there is no shirking from the horrid and terrible, he sets out to make your skin crawl as any good horror writer should do. That's not to say that he patronizes или bangs Ты over the head until Ты believe what he believes, in fact these stories ( all of them amazing) make Ты Вопрос what is right, what is wrong, what is God and how Ты might figure in the scheme of things. If you've never read of any Wrath White before I would consider starting here but be prepared...this is not an easy read, but it is hugely engrossing, bleak and very entertaining.

If Ты like horror short stories by new, interesting authors I recommend the Bizarro Starter Kit books. There are three in all; Blue,Orange and Purple and they are available at Amazon.com among other places. In the U.K Ты may find it hard to find these Книги at the bookshop(I did) so the web is your best bet and if Ты enjoy Чтение things that are strange, horrific and utterly unpredictable, the I would give these Книги a try. Also, Ты will be introduced to some truly excellent, although rather unknown authors, which is always a good thing. Thank you.

In this collection of short horror fiction you'll find a little of everything. This book is not really hardcore horror but there is a bit of blood flying around along with deadly paranoia on board a Космос shuttle, a dark cellar that may contain a yellow eyed monster with teeth and a uncertain afterlife for a cancer patient. The stories are all very well written and edited and I read this entire collection in one day. It was thoroughly entertaining and some of the stories give me a little shiver with some genuinely inventive and unique takes on horror.
There's bound to be something in here for any kind of horror fan, no matter your tastes. It was also nice to read some authors that I had never read before and it spurred me on to discover еще about them and their other works.
This is an ebook and relatively cheap for the quality of the story telling on show. I would recommend picking this up and if Ты do I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Meat is a weird little novel. Set in a distopian world where meat is all...everybody eats meat, everyone works at the slaughterhouse, everyone trembles before the all powerful owner of the meat factory...all, that is except for one man. Despite the fact that he is a talented slaughter-man and is held in high regard in his little town, his conscience weighs on him forcing him to rise up against the tyrants of the town and he begin to sympathize with the weird mutant/monsters that are being breed and killed for this mysterious meat that people eat without question.
Although this book is somewhat fantastical, it's closeness to reality is all too noticeable and uncomfortable. Do we Вопрос where meat comes from,how it gets on our own table? Well don't be surprised if,after Чтение this brilliant,complex, well-written and engaging book, Ты cannot look at a свиная отбивная, свиной карбонад the same again.
