You Shall Never Know Security (2011)
As a rule, I don’t usually read short story collections by single authors. I much prefer a buffet of authors when it comes to the short form but when a book lands on my doorstep by an author who’s been previously published in a Comet Press collection, I make an exception. You Shall Never Know [...]
Necro Files (2011)
Any semi-regular reader of this site has heard me profess my love for Comet Press numerous times and look out cuz i’m gonna do it again. This time I’ve got a copy of their new anthology Necro Files: 20 Years of Extreme Horror. And extreme it is indeed. Being no stranger to extreme fiction, having [...]
Scarla (2011)
I love Comet Press. Seriously, they’re my new favorite small press publisher. With a handful of amazing short story collections in their library they have finally decided to branch out into releasing novels, or in this case, novellas. Scarla, by BC Furtney, tells the tale about a young woman who just happens to be a [...]
2013 The Aftermath (2010)
Recently our country as a whole has become much more interested in the apocalypse. Countless zombie , mysterious contagions, and natural disasters have been covered recently in countless films and novels. Hell, entire small press publishers have staked their entire catalog on pondering the end of civilization. I myself have always been drawn to these [...]
Silver Moon, Bloody Bullets (2010)
Out of all the classic monsters my favorite has always been werewolves. I saw the Howling at an early age and it left quite an impression. Transforming into a huge monster wolf with big teeth and sharp claws is scary and awesome at the same time. There haven’t been too many werewolf films however and [...]
Population Zero (2010)
I’ve only read one other book from Wrath James White, Succulent Prey, and it’s the most hardcore horror fiction I’ve ever read. As I was reading it I kept thinking, there’s no way he can keep this level of gore up for long but each time i turned the page my mind was filled with [...]
Knockemstiff (2008)
This book doesn’t exactly fit into the theme of Toxic Graveyard. It’s not horror, and it’s not particularly extreme, but it is particularly good. After getting the recommendation from Fred Venturini’s website, I decided to give it a go and I’m glad that I did. For some reason I’m especially drawn to southern fried fiction. [...]
The Samaritan (2011)
Man I love reading. I love it so much I do it every night but lately I haven’t had that craving. The craving I get when I’m reading an especially good book. The craving I feel when the sun goes down and I know I’ll be cracking it open again soon. Or when I see [...]
Ruthless (2010)
I love extreme horror. I love being grossed out, shocked, and revolted. Honestly, I just like to feel something. So often I read novels and anthologies and never really feel anything. Sure, they’re entertaining but beyond killing some of my free time they don’t give me anything to take with me. Ruthless made me feel [...]
Sick Things (2010)
Recently I’ve discovered the awesomeness that is Comet Press. There is a myriad of small press horror publishers out there, and more seem to be popping up all the time. Many times these small press companies promise “extreme” horror but often what you get is a poorly edited book riddled with grammatical and spelling errors [...]
