My rating: 4 of 5 stars

With a Voice that is Often Still Confused But is Becoming Ever Louder and Clearer by J.R. Hamantaschen is a great collection of horror stories that starts off with a bang. The first story,Vernichtungsschmerz is about Julie and her dreams, and while she claims to never remember her dreams well, here her dreams, horrifying at times, seem to overlap with reality, along with the reality of her three childhood friends. There are physical mutations, death, and other scary elements not only in this story but the others as well, as the author carries scary and overwhelming themes throughout the collection. To say that this writing is good is truly an understatement, the author grabs you by the throat and makes you want to read further, even though you know that may not be a reasonable idea. The writing is addicting like a drug, you know it's bad for you but you can't help yourself. A good mix of genre that blends gore with horror and everything in between, ranging from subtly nuanced to in your face disaster and mayhem. Highly recommend.
