My only complaint is that the editor seemed to get lazier and lazier as the book progresses; the editing is VERY sloppy and half-assed. It's quite noticeable and I'm talking huge mistakes: words left out, words and phrases repeated, wrong word usage, etc. it's annoying and you have to reread some parts. Overall though, these latter stories (content-wise), are definitely worth the read.
This anthology ranges from very good to shockingly bad. I'm guessing that some of these stories were rejected for reasons other than being too "extreme." These had a lot of grammar and typo issues that made them painful, and in fact I gave up on some of them halfway through. I'm learning that anthologies aren't for me, as it only takes a few clunkers to make the whole book seem like a chore. Extreme horror junkies may want to check it out.
Rejected Why???If u like your stories edgy, graphic, and most definitely memorable, then you'll want to give this book a shot! Chock full of gore, blood, sex, cannibalism, abuse, and all types of subject matter that your psychiatrist told u to stop reading! Plenty of talented authors throughout, this is a book you'll be reading in one sitting. Once started, I found it a very difficult thing to set aside.
Worth the money. Very entertaining bordering on wrong.
Can't help but feel that most of these stories weren't rejected because of gory, vulgar content but simply because they're terrible. Went in expecting some clever, depraved, gross reads akin to American Psycho and Palahniuk's Guts. What I got was mostly authors' weird sexual fantasies about necrophilia, rape and tentacle porn with no literary intellect. All boring, eye-roll worthy and without any real meaning, despite what the editor's foreword promises.One or two almost good stories in there (T...
This review may well get rejected for content but if you are even considering reading a book with a title such as this, you would have to expect, this is plainly and oh, not so simply...Fukked up! One can't help but wonder after reading the stories within, if the authors in this anthology are in need of intensive psychiatric treatment. Eye have read my fair share of Horror...Extreme Horror even but some of the material within these pages is sincerely of the utmost depravity. It is quite near im
I don't normally post negative reviews, so Ill stick to the facts...To be fair, there are some very well written stories in this book that I would have given a five star rating to, if only I could have rated them individually. Especially the one about the cats, and the one titled "All that remains". But a few good stories, even great ones, do not justify the rest of the stuff in this collection.1) About half of the stories are just erotica with a horror twist, nothing truly original.2) Several o...

Bring On the Stories Defying ExplanationNormal is defined as something most people would find acceptable, ideas within the comfort zone, fears and scenes within our grasp. What Rejected for Content brings are images and actions bringing involuntary reactions we won't speak of and breaking the word barrier of what fiction can be. This is not say all the stories will grab you. Some of these you say are not really stories at all and merely pushing into the perverted minds out there - fair enough. T...
Few stories are great and creative but majority of the stories should remain rejected.
I'm going to do something a little different with this anthology. Rather than one huge review at the end of it, I'm going to flash review story by story and drop a final rating at the end. As always, I will leave my story out of the review process, reviewing everyone else only.The reason? Each and every person in this anthology has worked their backside off to be involved. I've had the pleasure of working with several of them, in close proximity, for the past several months. I'm proud to call th...
These anthologies are hard to rate and review. I am more of a novel reader. That being said, I enjoyed several of the stories in here. Some were quite weird and over the top. All the stories were rejected by other publishers or what not, adding the rejection letters was a nice touch. Some of my favorite stories were:Pubienne Tueur De Cheveux by Essel PrattThe Obelisk of Souls by Lisa DadrowskiThe Year of the Cat by Mark WoodsAll That Remains by Amanda LyonsWhere Here Sorrow Runs To When It Must
It isn't often that I stop reading a book before it's actually finished, but I felt I had to with this. I expected so much more, none of these stories were scary in my opinion. I'd say that if you like the idea of horror but can't read anything honesty chilling without being unable to sleep for a week this is good for you, otherwise I wouldn't suggest it.
Love this! Love the idea, love the end product, love the little bit of f*ck you factor in printing the rejection letters right along with the stories lol! Love having access to several stories deemed too disturbing for the general public. This is genius! Have I mentioned I love it? This series is the new standard by which all splattergore anthologies should be measured.
