Flayed Corpse and Other Stories by Josh Simmons

3.0

If Josh Simmons wasn't so afraid of accidentally giving a fuck and trying to do some decent plot or at least just trying to make it one collection without doing some grotesque idiotic story about feces, he might have just been a must-read author for me. But, alas, some of this feels like Prison Pit but without any of the demented originality and way too tryhard. There are some nice designs and a few of the stories (mainly ones that aren't written by him) end up pretty alright. But it's like bobbing for apples in a barrel of poisoned water.
