An anthology of horror shorts with beasts of many forms. MARK OF THE BEAST - Jessie has just picked up trailer park mother and are en route to the grandmother's house when they hit a deer on a deserted highway. The accident totals her broken down Volkswagen Bug...but the two soon have bigger problems. The deer was being chased by something very large. A beast emerges from the shadows and soon sees the two women as an appetizer as they try to escape. BIGFOOT CREEK - Cindy is the producer of a low budget reality show that specializes in cryptozoology. Both her and her crew journey to the woods where they discuss and look for the existence of Bigfoot. It is all done with a fake seriousness until they encounter a real beast at night that goes on a rampage, hunting them down one by one. A RAINY DAY IN HELL - Robin was violated by a group of hayseeds in the Louisiana backwoods. The police are doing nothing so she solicits the services of a voodoo witch, the mysterious Madam Porcelain, in order to help her gain retribution. The witch summons a werewolf that Robin can use as a weapon to gain revenge.
Out of the dark they come. Three beasts. One beyond naming. One by the name of Bigfoot. And the loupe garou. Those who they encounter pay a terrible price. Then, back to the dark they go.
All three of these are quick reads. All of them have a terrifying monster, or two. Many die. A few survive.
Each of these short stories has a fun twist. There’s even a bit of furry romance. Warning you though, most have a sticky ending. All’s fun until it isn’t.
Just when they might be getting good the book ends! I would love if the expanded the stories and gave more details! It was a good book but the stories are to short! ThAt is why I gave it one star
