Necro Files

As a huge fan of all things extreme and willing to push boundaries I absolutely loved this It was interesting to see how the art form evolved over twenty years Well narrated with some of the best authors in horror If you know what your getting into I highly recommend it I received a free review audiobook and voluntarily left this review

Excellent narration. Some stories are not as much scary as they are horrifyingly depressing and dreary… But there are some real toe-curlers in this collection that will make your spine tingle and your stomach feel nauseous. Overall, a good purchase.

HE TOLD HER SHE WAS PRETTY, AND MAYBE SHE WAS BECAUSE OF THE TELLING This was not what I thought I was getting. I bought this for the RR Martin story, Lansdale and I like horror. I had read Meathouse Man by Martin in John Joseph Adams\’ THE LIVING DEAD. Martin had been in a lot of emotional pain when he wrote this story and he poured all that pain into it. It is a great story and I was hoping the rest of the collect would be like Meathouse Man. HE HAD THE KIND OF FACE THAT ATTRACTS FLIES Out of the 19 stories, I found seven that I really liked. They are pretty much read in chronological order. The first story was written in 1976. Than comes Landsdale\’s story which will have you laughing your head off, until you start crying from fright. Diary is next and it was good and weird. ABED BY MASSIE is pretty gross and involves sex with a zombie and a grandma who does oral on her daughter in law. I actually liked the story and was proud of my self for being able to handle the grossness. THAN— Splatter porn. All the rest of the stories are splatter, erotica, gross, disgusting porn. The stories seem to get worse and worse and worse as far as what they do in each story. I like the Konrath kind of story which usually involves cannibalism, amputations, and mutants through inbreeding, but this has none of that, this is sticking knifes in every orifice, defecating and sex with rotting corpses. There were four stories in which I skipped to the end as they just seem to be a competition in grossness. Yet, even in splatter porn of which I am not a fan, I did find a good writer, can write an entertaining, intelligent story. Garton\’s story is sort of satirical, Everson\’s story was kind of clichéd, but I could not turn away. O\’Rourke has a torture story that goes the limit. Masterton\’s story was a bit predictable, but I hope he wrote more stories involving the main character, who had much character. Gonzales writes a anti splatter porn, splatter porn, which does a great job covering addiction and what it could lead to. The narrator was not consistent. Some stories he did very well, but in some, especially Meat Man, he just mailed it in.

I won this audiobook in a contest I had entered daring the people to take the plunge only if they could handle it. I\’m like shoot I\’m a strong independent woman I\’m on it.. This is a collection of short stories that are very disturbing, psychotic, and homicidal. I was very surprised and disappointed when I had listened to the first on \”Meat Man\” as it is a George RR Martin story and I was expecting great disturbing things. Then I realized this is one of his earlier works and not everything he touches is gold. The two best stories that I list

As a horror hound I have never understood why extreme horror has to turn into graphic sex and torture. I like the gratuitous T&A a lot of horror stories and movies have, but I have felt that horror has strayed away from actually trying to scare people to just how far can we push the envelope with descriptive gory rape and mutilation. To me that isn’t really horror, just how much depravity can we throw at you before you flinch. I would say maybe half of these stories fall into this category. The other ones were good horror that were gruesome, but also had a decent story. I enjoyed those ones that didn’t center around sexual torture because they actually had a story to tell. Those ones didn’t really need to rely on over the top gruesomeness. I really liked the mixture of authors, some notable ones to boot. Having a lot of different authors really helped vary the types of stories and the directions they went. Some of them definitely make me want to check out more of their work. Most horror collections in my opinion are 50/50 on quality and this one was no different. If you like graphic and gory tales, these will be right up your alley. The narration was decent. I liked his voice and his change in tone for the characters. He definitely performed better on some stories than others. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.
