In a current climate where fear pervades the narrative, this anthology provides a worthy respite from the real world and allows the reader to access escapist fictional horror and fun. Each tale leaves an indelible mark. Whether it be a grisly schlockfest or a cerebral head-scratcher, Evil in Technicolor will leave the reader with one eye open once finished. A pleasure from start to finish. - Philip Zozzaro for Portland Book Review, 5 of 5 stars Evil in Technicolor is a fun and engaging collection of varied stories that certainly hearken back to the classic film days but at the same time feel new and at times quite terrifying. Fans of the genre will revel in this anthology. - Kirkus Reviews The authors featured in this collection took their prompts and truly ran with them. They span the gamut from a meditative examination of Frankenstein's unnamed monster to gore-soaked haunted houses to a revelation that the truest horror may well be meeting our heroes. My favorite in the collection had more humor than horror and will be a delight for anyone who is a writer, or who has even been a teenager who took themselves a little too serious. My favorite was also a chilling underwater discovery, and the aforementioned examination of Frankenstein's monster. - Jo Niederhoff for Seattle Book Review, 4 of 5 stars Evil in Technicolor is a fun and engaging collection of varied stories that certainly hearken back to the classic film days but at the same time feel new and at times quite terrifying. Fans of the genre will revel in this anthology. - Alex C. Telander for San Francisco Book Review, 4.5 out of 5 stars. Author InformationTab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
