Review: NOT HORROR BUT OVERALL STILL A GOOD COLLECTION!
Rating: 4 out of 5

I rated this collection with 4 stars composite score because overall most of the stories were pretty interesting.  However, only the last short story entitled "Supper" was truly a horror.  The other stories IMO were not horrors but rather psychological thrillers, suspense,  and mysteries.  Thus if you fancy a true horror collection keep loolking this is not it.  Of course, the price is excellent, getting either Fresh Mear or ROOK for this price would be a great deal but to get 2 full stories/books, 1 short and a preview is indeed a bargain.Fresh Meat My favorite4.5 stars.  Was a psychological thriller with dark humor, loads of action, suspense and graphic violence.  The ending was pure genius.  I so did not see that coming!Widow Maker3.5 Stars.  It took awhile for me to get into this one.  It involved an FBI agent's pursuit of a horror documentary that was supposedly responsible for the death of some members of its audiences.  The plot was a bit far out there and required a great suspension of logic but it was still a pretty good read.  There's tons of action, robotic creatures, psychopaths or sociopaths, suspense, adventure, a touch of the supernatural & thrills and chills.  The fact that the story seemed to mix so many genres may have been why it was difficult for me to get a solid fix on this one.ROOK4.0 stars.  Again not a horror but rather a sort of supernatural action adventure mystery suspense story.  Rook himself is a sort of secret agent((no goverment affilations though) with magical powers "A Caster" battling, fallen angels, demons and other being from Heaven & hell to save the world from destruction.  I really like his character and would like to read individual books featuring him.The collection also contained a preview of a book entitled "Club Death"  2.5 stars.  I really couldn't make sense of what was going on or where the story is heading based on the preview.  Thus, I'm not sure whether I would be interested in reading the complete story.Finally included was a short Horror story entitled "Supper" 3.5 stars.  Although, this was the only story in the collection that I would classify as as horror the plot wasn't overly original focusing on a family of cannibals.  However, there were some gruesome moments, twists & turns and some action that made it an interesting short read.  I just wish it had been longer.
