Product Description
"I'm harping on the family and loved ones and living rooms and personal space and the home here because a good many of the stories by Brett, Seth and Gary in this book touch on those themes. 'Touch on' might be too weak a term, come to think of it. 'Reach into' is better. 'Probe the way a surgeon does for a lump' is better still. A lot of these stories hurt. They hurt real bad. This is not a bad thing. Hurt can affirm life, and remind us we're not alone."--Michael Marano, from his introduction

No Denying this is a worthy collection,
By Michael Kelly (Pickering, ON Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Denying Death (Paperback)
Though for the most part a collaborativeeffort, these tales flow seamlessly, insidiously creeping up on you, leaving you with a taste of death and pain, and, dare I say it, a longing to live life to the fullest while you still can. "The Collective" is a twisted, noirish piece that crackles with energy and has a killer last line. "Gone is the Wind" is filled with lurking dread, a tale set in the urban decay of Modern day England, with all that that implies. "Fatale" is a harrowing journey about all the

Not a book for the depressed or lonely,
By David Niall Wilson - Author of DEEP BLUE "boo... (Hertford, NC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Denying Death (Paperback)
Recently, a friend gave me a compilation CD he'd made. On that CD was pretty much everything that the group RADIOHEAD had ever played, strung one after the other. Literally hours of music. What does that have to do with DENYING DEATH? I'll tell you. After listening to that much RADIOHEAD, I had reached that mental state where the thought of wandering outside and slitting my wrists was whimsical. I found myself near that level of depression where there isn't any more room to pour in the sorrow, and couldn't quite bring myself to reach over and make it stop by hitting pause, or ejecting the infernal CD altogether.What I'm saying is that DENYING DEATH is not a happy book. As the title suggests, this collection deals in a number of ways with death, family trial, characters dealing poorly with, or ignoring altogether, their own state of death. Do not read this book if you are prone to fits of depression. Do not read this book near holidays, or while listening to Billie Holiday or RADIOHEAD. But . . . if you are a fan of horror, and want to be entertained by three of the fresher new voices in the genre, by all means, read this book. SEE COMPLETE REVIEW AT: www.feoamante.com
