Una discreta antologia horror, sedici racconti estremi (abbastanza) convincenti. I migliori sono, poco sorprendentemente, figli di autori di un certo livello (La sera che non andarono all'Horror Show di Lansdale, Macelleria mobile di mezzanotte di Barker, L'uomo della Casa della carne di Martin e, come outsider, La città degli angeli di J.S. Russell) mentre il resto si lascia leggere senza suscitare particolare ammirazione. Onestamente, da una raccolta intitolata Splatter Punk mi sarei aspettato qualcosa di più truculento.

Niente da fare. Guai se provo ancora a leggere antologie di racconti.
Assolutamente non li Amo e non son capace di leggerli.
Anche in questo caso oltre il primo, del grande Lansdale, non son riuscito ad andare. Ultimo tentativo; fallito.
