Great extreme I love Sam West and the extreme horror and writes and this book is no exception. Full of blood and gore my only complaint is as you get into the story of ends. They seem to be getting shorter and feels like it's over as it's started. Which feels such a shame as her writing is so good and her extreme work is brilliant. It doesn't take away how good the book is. I just find it too short and from someone who read A LOT I just want more. But I would recommend all the same.

Intriguing set up Sam West used an intriguing set-up for this collection. The stories were less extreme than usual (although I may just be jaded) but they were still well-crafted and fun. A few spelling errors (eg: needing written instead of kneading) but overall good fun. My favorite was the Child Eater and Max Angel’s main story.

Good Compilation of Horror Shorts Dealing with the Theme of Home Invasion The book started off a bit slow for an "extreme horror" but picked up pace as the story/stories progressed. My brief review and rating of each story: - The wrap-around story (4/5): The main story deals with the realistic fear (especially if you are a celebrity, famous or handsome/beautiful) of being stalked online. Chilling, tense and unsettling. - The Shadow Man (2/5): It was an okay tale but unoriginal since it's basically a Good Compilation of Horror Shorts Dealing with the Theme of Home Invasion The book started off a bit slow for an "extreme horror" but picked up pace as the story/stories progressed. My brief review and rating of each story: - The wrap-around story (4/5): The main story deals with the realistic fear (especially if you are a celebrity, famous or handsome/beautiful) of being stalked online. Chilling, tense and unsettling. - The Shadow Man (2/5): It was an okay tale but unoriginal since it's basically a retelling of the Slenderman creepy-pasta. - The Univited (4/5): A story dealing with a man giving in to his hatred and dark side by turning on his wife and her friends during a dinner get-together after a visit from the devil himself. Shocking in its brutal and senseless violence as was the intention of the story. I enjoyed this one the most out of the four. - The Gilded Cage (2.5/5): The last of the shorts. A night has unexpected twists and turns after a woman orders a hit on her husband. This story started out for me as a black comedy (but I might be the only one finding it funny since I have a weird sense of humour) and then turned into a corny, weird, erotic fest that is probably the wet dream/dark fantasy of some goth girl. More dark erorica than horror this one is. The ending turned a rather stupid story into something I have mixed feelings about. In short, all four stories in "Inside" (three short and one wrap-around main story) was entertaining and worth the read if you are a lover of horror.

A bizarre set of stories A writer, a wife, and a psychotic stalker. What can go wrong? This story was awesome and very disturbing, but also enjoyable.

Don't read this book if you are of a delicate constitution. Very bad things happen to people in this book. Don't read this book if you are of a delicate constitution. Very bad things happen to people in this book.
