Damned: An Anthology of the Lost

Rating:
Summary: Enthralling, often wicked and twisted
Review: Compiled and edited by David G. Barnett, Damned: An Anthology Of The Lost showcases the work of twelve outstanding masters of modern horror fiction and the macabre. Enhanced with illustrations by Erik Wilson, this impressive anthology is comprised of The Coliseum (Patrick Lestewka); No We Love No One (Gerard Houarner); Casuistry (Charlee Jacob); Damned If You Do (Jack Ketchum); Green Green Glass (John Everson); When The Bough Doesn't Break (Brian Hodge); Thief of Golgotha (Tom Piccirilli); Siren (Jeffrey Thomas); The Angel (Edward Lee); Close (Mehitobel Wilson); That and the Rain (Gary Bruanbeck); and Nexus of Crisis (Doc Solammen). All the tales revolve around lost souls, corruption, damnation, and perhaps the very faint hope of salvation between the hot and cold wars of Heaven and Hell. An enthralling, often wicked and twisted, but always captivating assemblage of physical and spiritual struggle.
