Summary: An Excellent Collection
Review: I first met Mr. Schow at a Fangoria convention in 1991, where he signed my copy of The Kill Riff. I had read his short stories for a few years before that, and always was impressed (and sometimes a little grossed out) by the writing. He is an extremely talented writer who is not afraid to let things get wet, as it were. This collection is very strong and varied, with many different kinds and lengths of stories. Like Joe Lansdale, another favorite writer of mine, I am amazed that Schow isn't more widely read. He delivers the goods and never cheats, and can convey extremely powerful images with just a few well-chosen words. Frankly, I dare anyone to read the afterword (involving rusty screws and soft eye tissue) without turning away from the page and catching his or her breath. Seriously. I dare you....
