Helpful Score: 1

This book was hard to put down. The collection was so seamlessly compiled that you start to find yourself trapped in Wrath James White's depraved little world. It's hard to get out once you're in. It's not haphazard like some other collections and each story flows effortlessly from one to the next. Not to mention you constantly find yourself NEEDING to see what the next tale brings. You NEED to see what White will do next. Each of the stories themselves are highly inventive and would make today's Hollywood Horror standards cry in shame at how stale and tired the genre has become.

If you're unfamiliar with White, he's a hardcore/extreme horror author along the same lines as Edward Lee. Well, just replace Lee's grossness factor with eroticism and a little less fluid. Expect a lot of sex and gore with a subconscious commentary on the human psyche. Expect cannibalism, skin being flayed and depravity. You'll need a shower after this one.

Do yourself a favor and instead of seeing another drab Horror remake, pick up a freaking book.
