This collection of 26 stories contains some of Joe R. Lansdales favorite and most violent dark horror tales. “God of the Razor” introduces the dark god behind serial killers. A martial arts fight to the death between a reluctant champion and a sadistic alpha male is featured in “Master of Misery.” Human sacrifice to ensure prosperity or as a coming-of-age ritual are themes of “On a Dark October” and “Duck Hunt.” In “The Fat Man ” young boys learn the hard way that some mysteries should not be investigated. Many of the tales are truly weird such as “Chompers ” the story of the false teeth with an appetite. All stories are individually introduced by Lansdale who explains the humorous weird and sometimes sad genesis for each.
