 | Yaaay! Horror at its best, say I! Feb 11, 2009 |
| FINALLY, a true and original, (not cheesy at all) creature fest! I am a 30+ yr lover of anthologies of horror, and find many to lack scariness or a fast pace. This was devoured my me in 3 nights, with hardly any time to read with a 1 yr old baby boy! I loved it. Couldnt reccomend it enough- I PROMISE you wont be dissapointed. GET IT! | | |  | Blah! Major Disappointment Oct 18, 2008 |
| As fan of horror/terror shorts of many years(having acquired all the Fontana and Pan paperbacks) I bought this on the glowing (overblown) reviews and find that they are not justified in my opinion,,,the stories are just okay (barely) some are overlong and drwan out and none serve to raise the hackles of fear as M R James, Robert Bloch or masterpieces of Robert Aickman...Guess I am just spoiled ?? | | | | Anthologies: Perfect for travel Aug 6, 2008 |
I read the first anthology (Beneath the Surface) put out by this company (Shroud) and it was an excellent compilation. When I saw this book I decided to pick it up to take on vacation with me. Books with short stories are perfect for travel plus you get the exposure to multiple authors, a story buffet of sorts.
ABOMINATIONS is a well put together book of 17 short and (at times) disturbing stories.
I found this to be a highly enjoyable read, and the cover art is spectacular!!
The stories were so well written in this one that I got to the point where I had to stop reading it by the pool so that I would have something left for my flight home.
You don't have to be a hardcore fan of horror to enjoy the stories you will find in here but fans of the genre will certainly be satisfied with what they find within the pages.
Abominations is a small investment for maximun enjoyment, I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a solid read, who wish to escape from the norm to let their minds wander off into those dark places where things take place that we hope never happen to us. | | | | Exciting, thrilling and MONSTROUS! Jul 9, 2008 |
| An excellent sophomore release by Shroud Publishing, the dark fiction publishing house behind Shroud: The Journal of Dark Fiction and Art and their first anthology Beneath the Surface: 13+ Shocking Tales of Terror. In this collection of stories, Shroud brings us 17 tales that range from giant insects to nightmarish undead demons! Excellent variety, excellent stories, fantastic authors like Gerard Houarner, the author of Road To Hell and Road From Hell, and David Dunwoody, the author of the epic Zombie masterpiece, Empire: A Zombie Novel. There is much, much more though, like Eric Christ's evil dwarf in "Riding the Oak Mill Bridge" and Farnsworth's Black Eyed Kids in "BEKs." I highly recommend this anthology if you are a fan of the Saturday matinee monster flicks of the 50s and 60s. | | | Write your own review about Abominations: 17 Spine-Tingling Tales Of Murderous Monsters And Horrific Creatures
