Angel Dust Apocalypse by Jeremy Robert Johnson

5.0

Having read Johnson's 'Skullcrack City' I was ravenous for more. This short story collection does not disappoint. Every story conveys horror in a different light, from the body horror of 'Amniotic Shock in the Last Sacred Place' and 'Dissociative Skills' (my reaction reading that story: "He's not going to... he isn't... I can't read it... HE DID! HE DID IT!") to the comedy in 'The Sharp Dressed Man At the End of the Line' and 'Priapism' (is it wrong that I found the punishment in 'Priapism' funny? I don't care!). My favourite stories were actually 'Luminary' and 'Swimming in the House of the Sea'. Every story was well written and original, but these two moved me. They didn't make me cry, but it was close! I thoroughly recommend this awesome book.
