5.0

So floating right on by the fact that I've been M.I.A on Goodreads for God knows how long, this book has been sitting in my kindle app for God knows how long (with God knows how many other Ebooks I need to read). Shame on me, I'll be punished for it later. Until then, this book was pretty damn amazing.
Written by the man beneath the makeup of Hellraiser's Chatterer, there was quite a bit of intrigued coming into this book.
I honestly didn't know much about it, didn't expect to know much about it, or what I'd be getting. What we happen to get are 5 short stories. Throughout he maintains a style of writing that is simple, engaging, absorbing, and utterly his. Each story focuses on the darkness of people, and of the world, while plotting each with unique and imaginative scenarios. A definite must read if you're looking for a different voice in the horror genre.
Each story is long enough to keep you entertained for quick bursts, and don't linger any longer than necessary. I definitely need to see if he has written any novel length stories.
