This collection of horror stories will slap you in the face, kick you in the teeth and burn cigarette holes in your couch. These stories of pool halls, whiskey, junkies, and angel-tinged lunacy reach to the edge of human endurance and push. A detective wakes up in a shallow grave with a bullet hole in his chest and a taste for brains. A drug dealer tortures the privileged. A whorehouse keeps a strange "pet" and a man discovers the secret to all human passion. These seven stories will dull the pain of the hole that Hubert Selby jr.'s death left in your nasty bitter heart.

Edited by Michael Stone and Christopher J. Hall.

Wow, the guys at Dybbuk Press have come a long way since the publication of Teddy Bear Cannibal Massacre. The story selection and artwork are five times better than their previous endeavor, even if the title is five times worse. But don’t let the generic title fool you. This collection is full of good, solid stories from some of the most talented young authors around today.
