A review by 5hadow_girl
Garden of Fiends: Tales of Addiction Horror by Jessica McHugh, John F.D. Taff, Jack Ketchum, Glen R. Krisch, Mark Matthews, Johann Thorsson, Max Booth III, Kealan Patrick Burke

5.0

* The reality of addiction is darker than any fiction. *
"Drinking and drugging provide the height of human experience.
It's the promise of heaven on earth, but the hell that follows is a constant hunger, a cold emptiness."

Before I read even one story in this 'reality horror' anthology - Mark Matthews had me crying so hard that I could barely see. He presents an addiction anthology with compassion, casting no aspersions on anyone. I wan't to meet Mark Matthews, and give him the tightest hug ever.
"Imagine yourself drowning and being told not to swim to the surface for air.
Obsessions should be so mild."

I'll have my full review posted HERE
soon - I was going over my notes for this review, and I'm 'emotional' again...
