The Rare Anthology

Summary: RARE Rocks
Review: I know this is the ultimate vanity on this author's part, but, since I'm not the only one in this book, I thought it was time someone should say something about it around here.

I'm a genre fan, first and foremost, and The RARE Anthology is a kinky collection of some unique horror fiction. There are more than a few stirring tales in this book that range from the sublime to the intense. Many aspects of the human condition are explored by these authors. Obviously, I can't spotlight all the stories, but some of the high points for me were Everette Bell's excellent "Midnight people," our taskmaster Brian Knight's disturbing "Sasquatch Cafe" ("do you want fries with that Bigfoot Burger?"), and J.Newman's moody "When Satan Sings the Blues." These are just a few of the *messed*-up concepts in this collection. I would recommend this book even if I weren't in it.

But, since I am, I'm obligated to hypnotize you all and tell you, "Buy . . . buy this book." You won't regret it. It's disturbing, at least, and it'll give you a good taste (pun intended) of what some of today's up and comers are doing in the genre.
