Taboo, essa velha palavra polinésia, descreve bem a nossa atracção por aspectos mais perversos e obscuros da alma humana.

Isto quando são intrigantes, porque na sua maior parte são banais e entediantes explorações que procuram rentabilizar o gosto pelo obscuro com iconografia sugestiva mas perfeitamente insossa.

Necro Files is a collection of “horror” stories, written by twenty authors over a period of 20 years. Many of the authors have won or were nominated for awards, such as the Bram Stoker Award. I was thrilled when I found out I won a copy on Goodreads (as a first read giveaway), especially since Halloween was just around the corner and I was in a mood to be scared.

Audacious, fearless writing that's definitely not for the faint of heart. Contains some bona fide classics--Joe R. Lansdale's excellent, horrifying "Night They Missed the Horror Show," Elizabeth Massie's shocking zombie tale "Abed," and George R.R. Martin's "Meathouse Man"--as well as some great lesser-known stories that explore the taboo (like Brian Hodge's "Godflesh," about enlightened amputees, or Wayne Allen Sallee's "Lover Doll," a love stor

Small bits of poison won't necessarily kill you but they sure can make you appreciate living. This collection is not your grandfather's gothic horror, rather it's a sampling of current extremes that will disturb even today's Saw horror crowd. Not for the faint of heart but if you're reading this then it is for you. Enter as your own risk, the blood is warm.

Proper review forthcoming. Definitely worth reading. Very graphic and explicit with a focus on the "becoming the monster that lives inside you" type of story.

I think I enjoyed every story in this book!! Xipe by Edward Lee was my favorite, but I may be a bit biased! It was my first time reading a lot of these authors, but I definitely want to read more by JF Gonzalez and Joe Lansdale. Special kudos also to the Wrath James White & Monica O'Rourke stories...but I already knew they would not disappoint!
