Horror
Cutter (The Troop; Little Heaven) is at the top of his game here, providing an intensely visceral and gripping tale.
Clearly inspired by Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery,” with a nod as well toward Kindred by Octavia Butler, this is a compelling and immersive story.
LaRocca gives readers an unforgettable protagonist, a complicated man who will repulse them at first but will ultimately steal their hearts. Suggest to those who like the extreme horror of Paula D. Ashe or the work of Kathe Koja; it’s also a good pick for those looking for intense horror, as seen in What Kind of Mother by Clay McLeod Chapman.
Shaw’s striking stories will connect with a wide range of readers, especially those who like to be simultaneously entertained and asked to think about what they just read, much like in the short fiction of Philip Fracassi and Cassandra Khaw or the novels of Jeremy Robert Johnson.
This might not be for those who prefer their horror to have a certain amount of creatures or carnage, but it’s a must read for readers looking to explore human evil through fiction.
