On August 11th, 2009 a new and exciting blog was born, THE NEW FLESH. This blog quickly became the home of hundreds of misfit stories that, to put it simply, were 'too weird' for other markets. 212 stories were published during YEAR ONE.
These are our favorites.

A free ebook filled with 50 of the best weird stories published at THE NEW FLESH! Lot's of weird horror, sci-fi, and bizarro! I really enjoyed reading them all and can't wait to read more by these authors.
Ask any writer you know if they have any stories that get rejected time and time again, not because they are poorly written, but because the editor thinks that the story is 'too weird' or 'not a good fit' for their magazine. Every writer has at least one. The fun ones have much more. THE NEW FLESH was started to give these stories a place to call home. When I first started the blog, I wasn't sure if it would be a success or not. I mean, was there anyone who actually liked to read these kinds of...more

horror fans. Fans of bizarre fiction. People with a sense of humor.
The New Flesh has been a great place for "those kind" of stories for a solid year now. You know the stories... the weird ones, the ones that you wouldn't expect to find in your average mainstream speculative fiction magazine.
Well over the past year, William Pauley III and Suzie Bradshaw have published over two hundred odd and misfit stories. Recently I was lucky enough to join in the fun as co-editor, so as you can imagine, I have a slight bias.

Come one, come all and feast upon some bizarre fiction served up by the editors of THE NEW FLESH. William Pauley III, Suzie Bradshaw and Brian Barnett have selected 50 of their favorite weird-ass stories written by some weird-ass writers. In 'LONG LIVE THE NEW FLESH: YEAR ONE' you will find zombies with foul mouths, a girl that finds more than expected when she looks closely at her nipple and a man with a dick the size of horse. Yes, I know you're intrigued now, and there is much, much more like...more
On the one-year anniversary of The New Flesh, editor William Pauley III assembled fifty of his favorite stories from the first year. My flash fiction contribution, 'In Case of Armageddon' made the list. The book is full of weird, wonderful writing from sci-fi, horror and bizarro writers from across the spectrum. Definitely a fun read.

There are too many stories to rate them individually, so I'll just leave this review:
It took me all day to read it, but I finished it. What does that say about the anthology? That's right. It was impossible to put down.

WooHoo!!! That's just pure entertainment. Great, short stories 1,000 words or under, highly diverse bizarro, horror, literary, sci-fi. Long Live The New Flesh!!!
I don't generally enjoy dark stories much unless there is a point to them, and few of those in this book seemed to have much of a point. A few of the stories certainly made me laugh, and some were quite entertaining just because they were so original, but I found myself being glad to be done with it by the time I finished this book.
If you enjoy dark fiction and short stories, then this book is definitely for you. It's definitely original.

I gave this five stars because two of my stories are included. Also because I usually like the stuff posted at The New Flesh.
Deserves 1 star, but due to the two good stories in the entire book, I shall be generous.
some of these stories were pretty funny. LOL - crack upz!
