For the most part, I really enjoyed this eager awaited book. The usual suspects came up trumps and gave the readers exactly what we had been expecting from this eclectic mixture of writers.
Stuart Keane's contribution was a complete mind-f*** which I had to reread to get the constant shifting, whilst Andy Lennon's and Shaun Hupp's stories both had that all-out no holds barred gross element down pat. Matt Hickman's was exactly what I was expecting and a welcome change of pace to the other stories ...more

Insanely good
If it were possible to leave more than 5 stars, this book would get 10! Each and every story was a mini masterpiece. I enjoyed this thoroughly and it's no shit sandwich :)
You couldn't tempt me into living at the Watch Tower but I highly recommend reading about it. ...more

Disapointing
I thought this book would potentially turn out to be similar to "Blood Bath". Prior to reading that I wasn't a fan of short stories , but the collaborative work and talent of the authors soon changed my mind.
Behind Closed Doors had the potential for being great and I hate to say this, but given the calibre of the authors here the only shock factor was how boring most of the stories were. I was sorely disappointed and bored. So much so I did the unthinkable and gave up on some of the ...more
