"This is one of those novels that make me wish we had a half star system because really it's a 3 and 3/4 stars novel. Some of the stories are disturbing enough to stick with you for days, like The Sanctuary and Llama but others fall flat. From the sexually perverse to just downright creepy, Bentley Little touches on a little of everything (no pun intended lol) in the genre of horror. This is probably not the book for die-hard horror fans but for those who like a good scare once in a while it may hit the spot."

    " holy mother of evil, this book was great. right from the very 1st short story u get an idea of what this author's writing is like; its bloody, its gory, its weird, scary, etc etc. not all the stories were top notch but there are some definate gems in the bunch. much more than not. probably my fave collection of short stories ever.

    " This is a great collection of horror short stories. A few of them, as others have mentioned, really push the envelope. I've read a lot of books in the horror genre, and this one contains a few really gruesome/evil stories that are not for the faint of heart! Other stories, like The Washingtonians, are deeply creepy and memorable without being gruesome. Bentley Little is one of my favorite authors in this genre. "

    " Bentley Little is gruesome, gory and quite out-there but most of his books are great, and this short story book was no exception. My favorites were Estoppel, The Washingtonians, Life With Father, Roommates, Maya's Mother, and Colony. "

    " I like short story compilations, and Little's were pretty good. Better than the recent short story outputs from Stephen King. Worth a read if you're a horror fan. "

    " Jessie says: I'd say that Bentley Little is on par with Chuck Palahniuk as far as shock factor is concerned. My jaw was on the floor for most of this book, and the horrors just kept on coming. "

    " This man is sick, twisted and seriously fucked up. However..heh AWSOME (albeit weird) stories. Some of them just leave with you with a "wtf??" others make you realllly wonder where he gets his ideas. good horror writer though. Very good. "

    " Damn fine horror. As I read this, it occurred to me that many readers might be more horrified by Little's unbridled imagination than anything else. Very weird, very good. Dig it. "

    " SO good!! Bentley Little has the most vivid imagination. I love all of his books but they do get very weird/disturbing with lots of "WTF" moments, so definitly not for everyone!! "

    " A fairly good collection of short stories. My main problem was that the book was wildly uneven. Some stories were great and some stories were really poor. You will find yourself picking and choosing the stories you want to finish. "
