I'll admit that I'm the kind of coward who reads books like this with one hand in front of my face like I'm watching a movie I know is about to get gory and I'm scared I'll have to look away at any moment. Many of these stories contain scenes of carnage so vivid and visceral they feel burned into the backs of my eyelids. This is not a book for the faint of heart or the weak of stomach, but if you dream of rolling with punk necromancers and punching Nazi trash so hard they're propelled directly through the veil between the worlds of the living and the dead (see Caias Ward's wonderfully wild story "Snorting Ghosts in the Cause of Anti-Fascism", possibly my favourite story in the anthology) well, this is definitely a book for you.
Fans of contemporary indie horror may recognize many of the names in this book's TOC. A few of my recent favourite writers of weird and terrifying fiction make gruesomely effective appearances here (Gordon B. White, Donyae Coles, Joe Koch, Jonathan Louis Duckworth, and anthology editor Eric Raglin). Extreme horror still isn't really my cup of tea, on the whole, but this book does what it does so well that even a coward like me found a lot to enjoy.
