I’m not sure
what a bacchanal is, but I can definitely see the horrific part in these tales.
We have a child medium that can talk to the dead, a terminal patient on a
mission for revenge, and a group of friends that get lost in the woods, never to
be heard from again.
“Thank you for calling Quickie Caskets, the caskets our customers are
just dying to get into.” (67)
In “The
Encouragement Specialists,” an aspiring writer learns the mysterious workings
of a talent agency with the unwavering credo of “write good or else.”
A babysitting
job suddenly becomes eerily sinister with a strange child in “No Experience
Necessary.”
In “Art
Imitates Death,” an artist re-creates his finest masterpiece of his career: his
dead bride.
Stories were
witty, well-written, and enjoyable. Readers will get a kick out of most of them.
A must-read
for any horror lover!
My rating: 4 stars
