A harrowing collection of 11 terrifying and genre-bending modern horror stories. John Simmon's disturbing, uncomfortable and even confrontational stories work on multiple levels: uncompromising horror; blackly humorous, satirical riffs on the genre; or as vicious assaults against the political correctness that rules so much of popular culture. The artwork conveys a sense of dread and claustrophobia and the stories combine abomination and hilarity. Simmon's is a master of terrifying beasts that inspire and inflict nightmarish horrors.
