Story
Editors Randy Chandler and Cheryl Mullenax put the call out to horror writers and editors of extreme stories, the hardcore stuff that breaks boundaries and trashes taboos, the transgressive tales you can't "unread" (as Chuck Palahniuk says). Some of the stories you'll find here are loaded with very graphic descriptions of violence, sex, and depravities, while others may contain only one shocking moment of brutality. In others, the hardcore aspect may be less graphic and subtler than you might expect.

Story
A fictional tale of love and darkness in Auschwitz-Birkenau, and of every man and woman who bore the Auschwitz tattoo or was interred in Nazi death camps throughout World War Two, this Holocaust love story is inspired by real events. It is a tribute to the courage of victims of Nazi war crime during the Holocaust, sadly a part of Jewish history. The horror of Holocaust experiments carried out under the auspices of war and Hitler's obsession with a master race, are hard to understand, impossible to condone, and difficult to imagine forgiving.

Thought-provoking, dark, disturbing deliciousness
Contrary to what the title of the first short story suggests, the bright sides of this collection are subtle and muted, although there are a fair number that lend some lighter notes to a somber work of literature.
As with her previous collections, JT explores a variety of themes in her stories from a number of angles. There's detective work, candid autobiography, a mashup of a story as if written by an android, war history retold from the perspective of a courageous female fighter pilot, amongst other types and genres.
Each story is well-written and cleverly phrased down to the last word and punctuation mark. I appreciate this collection for more than JT's characteristic attention to technical detail, though. These stories WILL make you think and WILL change the way you look at the world, be the storylines fantasy or reality based - it matters not.
Once again, Roshina Ratnam nails each story, genre and character set perfectly. Her skills are well-matched with JT's material and I very much look forward to hearing more from the two of them!
