Review: Strongly sadistic

Although it styles itself 'slightly sadistic' I feel this is largely for the purpose of alliteration. Maybe 'strongly sadistic' would fit the bill? However, you will not buy the book without seeing the cover and that's what it's all about. I do enjoy horror so I knew what I was getting into here. The writing is generally good and it has an immediacy about it. It's vibrant. If it has a fault it's that several of the stories felt to me to be clones. Same sort of protagonist, same sort of victim, similar circumstances and outcome. There were 2 or 3 though, that had a different slant, and those I enjoyed more. I've prevaricated between 3 and 4 stars and for each site I have placed this review, I have gone with the one which equates to 'I liked it.' Because I did!
