Teenager Matt moves to a new town. Feeling lonely and uncomfortable, he welcomes the kindness his new teacher Ms Hayden shows him...not to mention the teacher being easy on the eye. His teenage dreams soon comes true when Ms Hayden draws closer to the boy and starts to respond to his fumbling advances but in a truly nasty twist on 'beware what you wish for' mythos, Ms Hayden soon turns into a monstrosity of a woman who has murderous intent, cunning and evil running deep through her veins.
Matt world is turned upside down in hellish fashion and the few friends he has managed to gain also becomes embroiled in Ms Hayden's wicked game.
This novel is immensely tense. You're given just enough information to fear for Matt and friends without the book flagging up the next move which works to keep you constantly on edge and having to restrain yourself from skipping ahead just to put your curiosity and fear to rest.
Part erotica, part nightmare. In parts horrific and violent, in parts tender and kind and always scarily realistic. A fantastically entertaining read from a writer with a huge horror pedigree.

Sound bizarre? It is. It's also blistering witty, extremely violent, filled with acidic one-liners and lashings of gore. This book (the author remains nameless) is for anyone who loves a bit of anarchy in their reading material. The plot jumps all over the place and you have to keep up and still,just when you think you've got it all figured out, there's a twist.For it's sheer inventiveness, this book is highly recommended.
Here is a eccentric and eclectic selection of bizarro short stories by one of the leading writers in the field Andersen Prunty.
There are over twenty tales in all, covering such weirdness as a man who puts a dog into orbit, a father who throws rocks at a kids head, a balloon-man who loses his secret power and a competition that revolves around injuring pedestrians to earn points and win money.
All these stories are exceptionally well written, brimming with invention and weirdness. Some lean on the horrific side of literature,some the more humorous and some a wild mixture of sorrow, fear and hope.
If you are new to the bizarro fiction movement, you could start here quite happily. This book isn't as extreme in terms of sex and violence as other collections but none the less an enthralling read about seeing the world through a glass askew.

This is a collection of 24 short stories all with a wicked, nasty twist on a holiday. From Earth Day to Christmas,each story is incredibly horrific, demented and disturbing, not to mention well written, engaging and funny. Some of the best horror writers have added to this collection included Wrath James White, Bentley Little and Jack Ketchum, plus many more. The tales include Natures revenge on Earth Day. Torture at Easter. A nasty Mother's Day present for an unwilling father and bloody sacrifice to every and any God that may or may not exist.
I have read quite a few short story collections and this is one of the best I've read. I think I liked it because not matter how dark, gross and horrifying the stories there's an underlying insane glee to all of them like mad people laughing at the moon while they eat their own fingers. There isn't a bad or boring story on show here. All are well-written and the piece on the whole is also well edited.
Try this ebook, it's brilliant.
