First off please heed the warning. If you are easily offended this book is not for you. If you are a horror lover than prepare to be delighted and disturbed by 28 horror tales that are indeed horrifying!
This is a large volume at over 400 pages of gruesome acts and evil doers.
There are stories of cannibalism, serial killers, madness, abuse and more. There is the sarcastic wit found in "Scare Me" "Love Hurts" is a twisted tale of love and sex, and fulfilling a lovers deepest darkest wish. Brothers fall prey to a sex crazed ghost in their new apartment in "High Rise"
In "Nouri and The Beetles" 2 jealous girls conspire against the village's most beautiful young woman. A hospitalized man has vivid dreams of Nazi prison "camps" Kidnapped children are found alive and a happy reunion takes place in "So Much Pain So much Death"

There is a tooth fairy the likes of which you never imagined in your childhood. "Psyche" just plain scared the bejeezers out of me. A child is terrified of what's behind "The Door"

A girl will do whatever it takes to find her missing sister in "Verboten"

All of this and more await you in Fresh Fear, enter if you dare and remember.. I warned you.

I wasn't sure what I would think of this story since the description begins with telling us about the detective on the hunt for a killer. I am usually not a big fan of detective stories, but this book gets right to the heart of the matter. The killers and what makes them tick
Charlie and Caleb Cunningham are bad apples that didn't fall far from their twisted family tree. Like their daddy and his daddy before him. Fans of horror and thrillers alike should enjoy this well written and gory tale, I was up all night reading this one.
Be warned it is quite graphic!

Oh well......another book added to my "dnf" shelf.

This book just didn't work for me at all though the blurb makes it sound really good as it has lots of killing with slice and dice action, but the story reads like a journal. The story centers around a family of killers which consists of a mother and father with their two sons.

One of the sons is telling the story of what happened with his family being killers and what he has done himself as a killer. But most of the story is told through his thoughts and sometimes there is confusion within the storyline (at least for me) with the son's thought processes as it bounces around.

I don't like staying confused within a story and I thought it would get better as it went along, but I tried up to near 48% and that is long enough for me as normally if I am not feeling anything by the 30% mark I will usually put the book down. Also since this is a "dnf" I won't be rating the review as I don't usually rate books I don't finish. Some people might like this type of story and how it is presented, but it is just not for me.


Note: I thought I would put a "note" on this review for readers. This book says I read it 4 times when in fact I did not. Goodreads has three different books by this author combined as one edition. When I click on "other editions" three other books by this author come up under the "other editions" tab. Maybe a Goodreads tech will see this review and fix the problem, but I thought I would point it out so other readers would know if they decide to pick up this book to read. When I went to do my review I had four date starts and date finish, but there is no way to remove the other dates as it does not give that option, so I am stuck with it I suppose.… (mais)
