While I am not a huge fan of anthologies, there are enough of the big names in this one to give it a go. Some of the stories are great, most are very good and only two left me disappointed.
Overall a very entertaining read for splatterpunk fans
There are two stories I have to highlight, though.
The first is “Smash It” by Matt Shaw. Yes, I am a Shaw fan, for the most part, but it has been a while since I’ve enjoyed one of his stories this much. Whether it was meant to be funny or not, I laughed my ass off. I’m not even sure of some of the things he mentioned is possible, but it was a great way to end this book.
The second is my favorite story in this collection: “Tool Story” by Stephen Kozeniewski. This one was a blast—thinking way way way outside the box, this story was hilarious and I must give credit where credit is due—while a simple concept, the execution was perfect and something I never would have thought of. Brilliant, sir!

More On This IndieMuse Contributor…
Mort Stone lives in untamed Africa, where he rides his lion to work every morning to slave away as a scientist who learned how to fake competency.
Reading is his passion…well, the one he can admit to, anyway. As an aggressive pacifist, he chooses to fight vicariously through stories which can bring him no physical harm.
While he is almost confidant that his IQ is in the top 50%, his wife regularly reminds him of all the stupid things he does. He will neither admit nor deny the accusations of sarcasm, but he can act like he cares. Most of the time.
As an avid reader of horror and thrillers, and somewhat of a movie buff in those genres, he still blames his insomnia on Global Warming. Because he can.
He would also like to apologize in advance for any swear words which might slip through…he will blame that on the insomnia.
