Summary: Good old fashioned Horror!
Review: A fun read, low on gore and high on suspense. If you're looking for Splatter-Punk, look elsewhere. But if you want a good read, with interesting characters and some solid scares, this is your book. Recommended!

The stories are:
No Per Minute Charges - a yuppie couple get more than a clear signal from their bargain cell phone.

Barbie Bites! - a young fashion model receives the gift of her dreams. Are some gifts nonreturnable?

Strays - what has that quiet neighbor been collecting in his basement?

Metaphysical Malaprops - a woman has an unforgettable encounter with the New DARK Age.

Oops! I Split my Genes - finally, the truth about genetically modified foods.

Surf Zombies of Quarter Moon Beach - surfers and dead cult members fight over a Southern California beach.

Come a Little Bit Closer - reverie and rainy days don't mix, especially behind the wheel.

Death Takes a Camping Trip - two young couples find an unexpected companion has tagged along on their weekend camping trip.

(From the back cover) Who needs bats, werewolves and gothic castles when the modern world offers so much to be afraid of? In this new collection, author Joseph Moore offers the reader character studies, morality tales, slices of life and death that give one a new appreciation for the word TERROR! Lock the doors and put bars on the windows, because Fright is coming for a visit!

Summary: Hidden messages of morality and values
Review: I found the stories in this book to be intriguing, interesting, and in some cases, suspenseful. Also, as I read this book, I found a hidden message in each story. I found many of the messages centered on the values our society, and would cause most readers to question what is TRULY important in life. I encourage everyone from all walks of life to read each story carefully, learn from the lessons that are given, and re-evaluate what they currently view as important in life.
