This collection is a stellar introduction to some of the talented people working in the horror genre today. It highlights some of the women in the horror industry, though a few more names would have been nice, but I am biased. The poetry offers a nice break from the short fiction. I enjoyed most of it with a few exceptions. My favorite story is by Hal Bodner. Normally, I won't single out one author by name in an anthology with multiple authors, but his beautiful and haunting love story set in a
Just finished 'Red Runner v The Surgeon', absolutely phenomenal.Those Who Watch From on High by Eric J. Guignard stayed with me for weeks. The rest were good, those were outstanding.
Chriral MadIt was good but not mesmerizing. I was looking forward to not putting it down, but that wasn't the case.
Not a fan. But that's because I don't really like short stories...not any fault of authors. I bought it because of the glowing reviews. Note to self: got to stop doing that!
All I can really say about this book is that it scared me to death! It will definitely be saved to be read again in the dark of winter.
I enjoyed the stories and poems in this book. A lot of them were out there, but that is okay, I like that. If you like the weird and scary, pick up this book.
Some duds but some really good ones, too! A great anthology...makes me want to find the first two editions.
OkSome good, some mediocre, some just weak. Some of the poetry was good. Overall I doubt I'd reccomend it. I felt like I had to force myself to finish it, thinking maybe the next one would be better. A few were so abstract they didn't seem to have a story line.
*** Review copy purchased online *** --- Truncated review --- I've been wanting to read Chiral Mad 3 ever since I heard it was coming out. Having been thoroughly impressed by the stories in the previous volumes, and seeing the all-star lineup unveiled bit by bit before the book's release made me eager to get my mitts on a copy. This anthology features a mixture of short stories and poetry as well as artwork. Now, I will say right off the bat that I didn't review the poetry in this anthology, not...
A pretty decent anthologyCame for the malerman story, stayed for.the campbell and ketchum. Some of the stories are great, and some are so so. I recommend.
IntenseI loved the mixture of poetry and short stories. Each story was intense in its own way, and I would be incredibly hard pressed to choose a favorite.
Great short fiction collection with some stunning entries by several notable authors in the field, including Stephen King, Ramsey Campbell, Jack Ketchum, Gene O'Neill, Gary A. Braunbeck, Josh Malerman and more. The book is also loaded with poetry and illustrations throughout. My personal favorites include The Last Rung On The Ladder by Stephen King, The Black Crow Of Boddinstrabe by Emily B. Cataneo, A Flash Of Red by Erinn L. Kemper, The Dead Collection by Mercedes M. Yardley, That Perilous Stu...
Chiral Mad 3 was an interesting book. I’d never read an anthology which put poems side by side with stories, and peppered the pages with illustrations too. Visually, it was a nice change, and I’d say it looks much better on paper than it did as an e-book. It’s fairly easy to get through, and didn’t give me the ‘tedious read’ experience that I’m generally afraid of when it comes to anthologies. The illustrations were great. Probably one of my favorite parts of the book, and some of the stories we...
I think I don't like poetry & I rarely like short stories. I think this was outstanding. P.S. I am not young.
You're looking for something new to read. You look through your "favorites" links. Same old, same old. Then you hit upon Dark Regions press to see an anthology - and between it's covers are the likes of Stephen King, Richard Chizmar, Josh Malerman, Gene O'Neil, and Jack Ketchum. You're body tingles like you have just scratched the last box on a winning lottery ticket, and you place your order.Then Chiral Mad 3 arrives and you settle down for, what you hope to be, a wild ride into the darkness. O...
