3.0 out of 5 stars Three stories in this book absolutely worth reading, 27 Feb 1999
By A Customer
"Skinwriters" by Robert J. Levy, "For the Curiosity of Rats" by Jeffrey Osier, and "The Stranger Who Sits Beside Me" by Yvonne Navarro all are top-notch fiction, intent on illumation instead of grossout. They are all so VERY good that they stand out as tremendous achievements in an anthology that otherwise runs the gamut from interesting all the way down to thoroughly repugnant.

4.0 out of 5 stars Right On Target...Great Stuff!!, 30 Sep 1998
By A Customer
If you are easily offended, or are not familiar with the genre of extreame horror, you may find this volumne a bit grim, or offputting. Having said that, I LOVED it. Great stories that don't have some silly "theme" to tie them together, just cutting edge writing that will leave you weak in the knee's. Ketchum, Taylor and Lee's stories were great... well worth it. If you are worried about the kids, don't give them this one. :) Seeing a mass market edition of this suprised me and made me hopefull for the future of Main stream horror publishing. Keep up the good work! I can't wait for Darkside 2!

1.0 out of 5 stars Save your money., 4 Aug 1998
By A Customer
If constant sexual situations and the unending splattering of entrails qualifies as horror for you, then get this book. If you require smart writing, evocative ideas, and any attempt at suspense or psychological terror definately look somewhere else. The "horror" of this anthology quickly falls into silliness as each author tries to outdo the others in a race to find the most cartoonish mix of sex and violence that they can. I can honestly say that this is the only book that I have ever returned to the store because I was so disappointed in its quality.
