Squeamy stuff

I never heard of this author before, so I didn't know what I was in for when I bought this. The stories are all from one author - and they ARE pretty horrifying. This is horror of the slash variety, sometimes veering into the sado-sexual. The authors story notes are sometimes inadvertently quite funny - as when he singles out one story as particularly nasty - when in fact it didn't seem any nastier than any of the other stories. A few are very, VERY blackly humorous, but I found tons more that I kinda wish I could unread than I found to chuckle at.
Still, the book is good for what it is. Most of the stories are well done, as opposed to reading like something the author cleaned out from the back of his files.
And the Narrator is absolutely a top drawer performer, amazing. In fact, I really should give the book 5 stars just on his account. He gave the stories an element of entertainment that they just would not have had otherwise.

Bad

At one point he was essentially just listing off the grossest ideas for food with the illusion of a restaurant. I believe "pimple burger" made the cut. At some points he's just crude and cliche for the sake of being crude and cliche and abandoning all tactfulness. He's got the writing style in liking to that of an 80's script writer for "tales from the dark side". The kind of writer who doesn't have a clue how to describe a child. All whinny and needy and neglecting the more complex human concept. His ideas are terribly predictable though there were some that were too pointless and directionless to predict. So I guess you got me there?? I can't believe I spent money on this. I should've just watched a takes from the dark side rerun if I wanted this crap.
