Being the president must be a difficult job. The last thing আপনি need is to be infected with lice while half of America turns into vegetables and gets eaten দ্বারা their pets.
This is a horror short story collection all based around the premise of presidents and/or the White House.
There's ghosts, a zombie, a werewolf, a botched assassination attempt, re-animated dead যশস্বী serviced দ্বারা prostitutes amongst others. The horror here is disgustingly brilliant, twisted to the extreme but always with an underlying wit and intelligence that makes every story fresh and wholly satisfying to read. Although the collection has no overt political agenda, a lot of the (fictional) presidents described are ego-maniacal idiots who are about as pleasant and trustworthy as a serial killer.
If আপনি are new to Edward Lee's work আপনি could start here as, in my view, this book gives a good account of the way Mr Lee writes as he pushes the boundaries of both horror fiction and the comfort level of the reader with it's shed load of bodily secretions flying around and a heap of sex, it's written to make আপনি shudder and cringe as any good horror should do.
A very enjoyable collection of stories. Thank আপনি for reading.
Teenager Matt moves to a new town. Feeling lonely and uncomfortable, he welcomes the kindness his new teacher Ms Hayden shows him...not to mention the teacher being easy on the eye. His teenage dreams soon comes true when Ms Hayden draws closer to the boy and starts to respond to his fumbling advances but in a truly nasty twist on 'beware what আপনি wish for' mythos, Ms Hayden soon turns into a monstrosity of a woman who has murderous intent, cunning and evil running deep through her veins.
Matt world is turned upside down in hellish fashion and the few বন্ধু he has managed to gain also becomes...

Take a gay club add a bunch of zombies and what do আপনি get? This refreshing take on the zombie apocalypse myth. Gone are the stereotypical collection of survivors that we normally get in these stories. There's no ex-military muscle bound hero that saves the দিন with the big guns. The characters here are just regular people, scared and clueless as to what's happening, relying on each other despite their desperate situation. It always makes the story better when আপনি care about what happens to the survivors and that is sometimes forgotten in বই of this type. Of course there's still the requisite...

This is a short short collection দ্বারা লেখক Norman Partridge. It contains both fiction and non-fiction content all based around the হ্যালোইন season.

The writer does a very clever and unique thing with this collection as he recalls his childhood, growing up with the classic monsters of the time e.g Frankenstein, Dracula, Wolfman etc also including the old creepy comic বই জনপ্রিয় back then and how he and his বন্ধু used to enjoy the হ্যালোইন season. From these golden memories he flips it to the the হ্যালোইন বছর when the real bogeyman came out to play; The Zodiac Killer. It's a very interesting...

Remember when আপনি were a kid and in the dead of night you'd hear a sound? A sound আপনি were convinced came from within your room? Maybe it came from underneath the floorboards, in a big old wardrobe or, even worse,from under your bed? Well if আপনি do remember then this collection of short stories will make those bad memories burst upon your mind with a cringe and send a shiver down your spine.
There are twelve stories here.

This a short story collection that spans two things that I enjoy পাঠ করা the most; horror and bizarre.
Although the শিরোনাম of this book alludes to it being all about apocalypses, it is not. While there are some tales here that are about the end of the world, many আরো are very personal takes on the horrific and/or weird.
There are over twenty short stories included. Some of which are, the evolution and destruction of self aware trash puppets. A man who has শিশুরা mysteriously appear in his apartment. A down- trodden young woman who finds out something disturbing about her father. A man endlessly...

In পাঠ করা this সেকেন্ড volume of Earth ending short stories আপনি will realize just how many ways life as we know it could end. It could make আপনি feel very small and totally useless or, depending on your point of view of society, it could fill আপনি with hope knowing that the end is always near and that maybe if the ever impending apocalypse does happen we can rise from the ruin and try not to make such a mess of the World the সেকেন্ড time around. Either way read and enjoy yet another fine collection of 'what-if' tales.

Included:

Even amongst the mounting technology and digital enhancement that dominates the world today myths prevail, whether it be something as abstract as superstition অথবা something as deep-rooted as curses and rituals, people still pass on twisted tales of fairies, goblins, the আন্ডারওয়ার্ল্ড and the wrath of scorned Gods long forgotten but still ablaze with power. This collection of twelve short stories contain a ক্রুশ section of legends and folklore.

Being a অনুরাগী of extreme horror I had high hopes for this collection. I haven't read anything দ্বারা John Putignano before so I was also excited to find a new horror লেখক that I can follow in the future. Happily I have.

This book is a collection of short stories all based অথবা somehow revolving around the concepts of Hell, demons, Satan অথবা dark taboo's. From necrophilia to cannibalism, madness, possession, Satanic rituals and murder all feature along with added oddities like harmonious frogs, strange medical conditions and even a quick mention of Horror Hero H.P.Lovecraft. Despite the relative narrowness...

For anyone who knows the work of লেখক Edward Lee, আপনি probably know the high quality of his লেখা and also the sort of horror topics he covers. There's nothing here to disappoint his fans. For those of আপনি who haven't read any of Mr Lee's other work well... let's just say আপনি got a big shock coming to you.

Let me be honest, the short stories available in this collection are most definitely not for the weak of stomach of faint of heart. In fact out of all the short horror fiction I have read, some of the stories contained within this collection are some of the most disturbing I have ever...

This is an excellent book. The লেখক manages to weave numerous characters, scenarios and themes together seamlessly. If আপনি like vampires, নেকড়ে-মানুষ অথবা zombies অথবা just like a good 'end of the world' yarn then you'll find something here to enjoy. The story is subtly underpinned দ্বারা a religious tone that while being moralistic stays clear of being too preachy as to put the reader off. Add to that moments of sparkling wit and pitch black humour আপনি have yourself a very entertaining and intelligent novel where the twists and turns in the plot flow as freely as the buckets of gore.A brilliant horror novel. Enjoy. Thank আপনি for reading.
On July 1991 Jeffrey Dahmer the notorious cannibalistic serial killer was captured দ্বারা police.
On November 28, 1994 Dahmer was beaten to death দ্বারা another inmate...Or was he?
What if Jeff didn't really die that day. What if it was all a elaborate hoax? What if Dahmer found a way to escape jail দ্বারা faking his own death?
These 'what-if's' are the basis for this taut gripping story. Part horror. Part conspiracy theory. Part police procedural. This story is all the আরো terrifying for the amazing amount of detail and believability that is imbued on every page.

Detective Helen Closs is a highly successful...

An inventive, enjoyable and surprisingly heart-warming take on the serial killer thriller.

Charlie is a quiet man. He keeps himself to himself at work, মতামত the world through highly practical eyes, is meticulous to a fault and incredible thrifty. He avoids any kind of personal contact with people and cares not a jot about anybody's feelings, desires, ideas অথবা personalities. He is also a very successful serial killer. Keeping his killings to a strict schedule, he allows himself to hunt for a new victim once every two months and always aims for victims which he considers low risk i.e junkies...

After following the Horror Society on Twitter for a while, I was very excited to read this book. The people in the society know their stuff and with this book no gut is left un-churned, no twist denied and no moral ground left intact.
Included are eleven short stories:
LOAF DIVINE দ্বারা Canaan Frank: A hotel seeks out the twisted secrets that lie within the past and conscience of a man
DEAD RINGERS দ্বারা David Blackthorn: College students have an eventful night sleeping amongst the graves of plague victims
A VAMPIRE WALKS INTO A BAR দ্বারা Aaron রশ্মি Ballard: A bar that plays host to many unnatural beasts...

The best thing about this short story collection is it's brazenness. It is violently visceral book staining with gore and bulging with pure nastiness. In short it's a book that any real literary horror অনুরাগী should relish.
The stories include:
HEIRLOOM দ্বারা Michael Laimo: An inherited রাইফেল holds terrible memories and depraved secrets for a seriously demented killer.
VIOLENCE FOR FUN AND PROFIT দ্বারা Gregory L.Norris: Vengeance becomes political manifesto in this warped view of post-Bush America.
AMPUTATIONS IN THE KEY OF D দ্বারা Jack Maddox: A rock তারকা goes for a routine wart removal and ends up losing...

There is an over-abundance of werewolf tales available in all forms of entertainment so finding a fresh take on this old story is very difficult but this book manages to discover one. The idea here is that a নেকড়ে lives within some people (albeit latent) just sitting there waiting for the right set of circumstances and a large amount of provocation.

The story revolves around a everyday guy called Syd, for whom life is downbeat and boring then one দিন Nora walks into his life who precedes, within a very short মহাকাশ of time, to turn his humdrum life upside down. Nora is no normal woman and the...

Horror stories evoke fear; it is the nature of the beast. So rarely do আপনি find a horror story that causes other emotions to stir. But a good horror writer knows that in order for the fear to really pay off আপনি have to engage the readers with not just the concept of the story but with the characters that populate the world of the story. So what if a character আপনি don't care about dies? No matter how visceral অথবা detailed that characters demise, without invested emotions it just doesn't resonate.
Luckily for the reader, with this story, আপনি will care.

This is the first John Everson story I have read and after this I will definitely দ্বারা পাঠ করা more. If this gruesome, bleak and gory little tale is anything like his other works, true horror অনুরাগী should not be disappointed.

In this novella we met three kids, all on a rapid downward spiral. Unpopular and rejected দ্বারা others, desperate and pitiful in their actions, wasting their lives with drugs, sex, self-mutilation and suicidal thinking. All class themselves as complete failures until along comes Aaron. An older gentlemen who feasts on the ripe opportunity to lure the three no-hoper's into a horrific...
