A so-so collection of short stories., July 25 2007
By Jose Jones - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hotter Blood (Paperback)
None of the stories here are particularly bad, but it lacks the one or two truly great tales that make picking up a collection like this worthwhile.
My favorite story was "Wolf in the Memory" by Stephen Gresham. It doesn't belong here (there's no real horror element to it), but it's a terrific story about adolescence and awakening sexuality.
R. Patrick Gates' "A Hard Man Is Good to Find" is very raunchy and very, very funny (I would expect nothing less from the man who brought us the disturbed "Grimm Reapings").
Richard Laymon's "Tub" was simple and effective. Don D'Ammassa's "The Splicer" is an inventive little fantasy for movie buffs. Lucy Taylor's caustic "Atrocities" is by far the most frightening tale.
The above stories are worth reading, but the other nineteen aren't all that creative, and edge toward being boring.
I personally bought this collection to read Laymon and Gates. Since both of their stories worked (and Gates gave me a good laugh) I walk away satisfied. But if you're looking for more than just a handful of good stories you might want to look elsewhere.

Even the Cover is Spooky..., April 2 2006
By Earl Smith "ScooterGoth" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hotter Blood (Paperback)
this continues with a collection of new (or new to you) writers as well as some classic authors delving into the depths of kinky creepiness.
This is the stuff of nightmares where you are getting naughty one minute and running for your life the next...
A short story a night will make you fall asleep with the lights only to find you're waking up aroused later in the night wondering if the ghosts under the bed are worth dying for just for the ultimate in pleaures.
Creepily arousing and arousingly frightening. Anne Rice looks like a prude compared to these authors!

TOO RACY, Sep 18 2009
By Dawn Dellarocco - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hotter Blood (Paperback)
I read this book expecting more horror stories but they are too graphic and there is a lot of bad language in this book. This book is too trashy, graphic, and racy for me plus the stories were awful. SAVE YOUR MONEY.
Listmania!
