Review: Not Just "Anything" Can Be Horror
Rating: 3 out of 5

ANYTHING CAN BE DANGEROUS might very well make some horror novel readers stop reading.  Starting this book out with the story that is - well - a little outrageous, was the most dangerous part of this book.  If you like your horror raw, real and visceral this probably isn't for you.  If you can enjoy horror that is funny, freaky and a little like a B-Movie, grab this book.For me, I like both kinds and all kinds in between.  I like to be scared, shocked, repulsed...or sometimes just made to laugh while all the weirdness happens.Not that this book is a satirical take on horror.  This isn't Scary Movie 5 (or is it 6 now?)  This is a horror writer having fun with a strange idea in the first story.  I liked it, and I had fun right along with him.The story about the couple and child abandoning thier car in a snowstorm was tense and really a very good short horror story.  The zombie finger...pretty good too.  The zombie cafe, a little bit of Twilight Zone mixed with blood and guts.Overall I'd pick up Hults again.  I enjoyed the book, I got what I wanted out of it, and for me that's good enough.  It didn't knock me over or make me dry heave...but I don't need that all the time.  Sometimes I just want a fun book that has an edge and creeps me out or makes me cringe.  This book did that enough for me to say Thanks Matt - mission accomplished, buddy.
