Monster reviews from Exaggerated Press
A favorable review of of M is for MONSTER by Terry Grimwood from Exaggerated Press has recently come to light. I've got to say I'm pretty pleased with the reception.
This is a big anthology, picked with fangs, claws and torn flesh, but also with subtly and shadowed menace. Yes, the familiar is there, the werewolf, the demon, but for the most part, they've been given a fresh set of clothes, an injection of steroids and sent out to play once more. There are some very well written tales here, and some that are great stories though told in a more workmanlike style. These are few and more than compensated for by the sheer glee with which humanity is chased, clawed, tormented and eaten by the thing that haunts us from the day we first become aware of the dark.
My story T is for Trap was briefly mentioned as well, which I think bears repeating.
My own personal favorite is T by Magen Toole in which the clockwork working life and domestic routine of an ordinary, somewhat dull, man is shattered by his first glimpse of a young woman standing outside her house as he drives home from work one evening.
You can read the rest of the review here. It's a nice shot in the arm, if nothing else.
