Evil Jester Digest Volume One

Guaranteed to rile up anyone who is easily offended by blasphemyalthough I personally found the book of Job to be much more disturbing and that IS in the Bible. Carbonefirst story in the collection and it really starts things going with a bang. Very creepy and original. Taffsad, deep, and very moving as well as disturbing.

The closing scenes are burned in my brain. It is probably different for each readerafter all, don't we all get the devil that we deserve? Norrisdidn't like this one. It was like a Harlequin Romance in Zombietown. I think that there is a good idea in there and this might appeal to the Lovecraft faithful.

I am a big fan of stories like this. Gave this collection a nice diversity. Average it out and I will call it 4 stars. I will buy the second in the series also and have hopes that it will be as good as this fine collection. March, Great freshman effort from Evil Jester Press, an up-and-coming new publisher that have already proven themselves as a voice for quality horror.

Follow the Authors

The Digest includes ten original fiction tales covering attempts to stop time, G. Norris, and Hollie Snider for outstanding tales. Five out of Five stars. Although the entirety of this collection is amazing, I was pleasantly surprised to be welcomed by an equally inspiring forward by Peter Giglio. His passion and dedication showed me that the journey I was about to embark on would be completely amazing.

Carbone, I was hooked. The collection started off strong and kept up its strength throughout the entire journey. The Haunted Reading Room Reviews. Let me be one of the first to tell you; this is one exceptional selection. Norris; Phil Hickes; John F.

Kindle Editions

Taff; and Aric Sundquist, are the stunners contributing to the excellence of this volume. From the very first story by Tracy L. Carbone by page two I thought I'd been kicked in the chest, and literally jumped backwards in shock and surprise, and I'm pretty sure my hair stood to attention the entire duration of the story right through to the tenth story, Aric Sundquist's novella, this is extraordinary writing.

Some are good, some not so good. This one is excellent. Every single story packs a punch - there is not a weak piece in the lot. Among the not-to-be-missed stories include a brilliant fairy tale by Eric J. Guignard, not one, but two, fantastic pieces from Trent Zelazny, and a well-crafted cinematic tale by Scott Bradley.

A great effort by all involved. I just got around to reading this amazing collection of short stories and am in awe of the Authors and Stories included within. I especially like how Mr. Giglio introduced each story, it is something that you don't see often in an anthology, and it adds a personal touch to let you know that this collection was not just thrown together, but crafted with care. I may be a bit backwards, but I am now reading the Evil Jester Digest, Volume 1, and will leave my review when complete, until then I strongly recommend this book to anyone that loves a good fright!

I don't know what it is about horror and short stories, but they go so well together! This was a great collection that I read in one night just because I couldn't put it down. Creepy and spooky and gory. I am going to have to pick up volume 1 from Evil Jester. Not the best collection of stories, but there were a few gems in here.

I do appreciate the free stories though, and I've found myself a few new authors.

Really enjoyed this, nice introduction to several new authors. Fun and entertaining read - great for the kindle, will check for the other volumes. One person found this helpful. Very good from authors that I have not had the chance of reading yet. All the stories were very fresh and interesting. In my opinion, independent press anthologies are a wonderful read. They offer a wide range of authors, many of whom you may not be familiar with or have only seen in passing.

Buy for others

Evil Jester Digest, Volume Two is one such collection. While there are prominent names in horror, including Tim Waggoner and Holly Newstein, there are a host of others just as good lurking in the pages here. The gore is minimal and the suspense is intense. Waggoner opens the collection with a disturbing look at a man driven by the past, of which he cannot escape.

The story is not only great horror, but also a reflection on the long-term impact of the high school bully and his cronies. Where do those scapegoat kids go and who do they become? Waggoner's answer will chill you to the bone. They instead looked into the dark, shadowy places in ourselves to find the horror that resides within us. Even the more traditional "monster" tales of zombies and vampires feel fresh and take on different, challenging perspectives. This is a great collection for not only an introduction to established authors, but also for discovering some new, fresh talent out there.

There's some real talent here and I'm looking forward to plunging into a few novels from this bunch! As with any anthology, it does come down to taste.

I TURNED JESTER INTO A KILLER CLOWN AT 3 AM!! (HE ATTACKED ME!!)

Zombie fans may be disappointed that there's not more brain-crunching, but the fans out there looking for more tension than guts will be pleased. Read this one with the lights on!
