In this collection of short stories, Scott grabs the reader by the throat and squeezes until the last story is finished. His style has a way of making the reader think, "Hey, this could be happening to me." He uses everyday scenarios that any one of us might face in an average day, and turns them into an anthem of terror.In my favorite, "Kentucky Fried," Scott is a master of words. The reader can feel the loathing that the couple in the story have for each other and when one of them gets "what they deserve" I found myself cheering the gory demise of the victim.In another tale "Television Eye" the protagonist in the story has to do something to his own body in order to save his young daughter. His act is so unthinkably hideous, that I found myself trying to stop reading............................but I was so hooked into the story that I had to read on until the bloody conclusion.With these short stories Scott has entrenched himself as a genius in the world of horror.
