Hot Blood X

If you've never read a Hot Blood book, than start now. Never before has such a series of smart, original, gripping horror stories been put together. Normally with an anthology you have a few stories that are just boring, or pointless. That's not the case with Hot Blood X. Each and every story grabs you by the throat and won't let go or ease up until your done, and you've barely caught your breath before you're lusting for the next story. In this anthology are 17 original tales by such horror notables as Bentley Little, Brian Hodge, Ramsey Campbell and Jeff Gelb. Each and every story is chilling, and each will leave you breathless wanting your next bit of Hot Blood.

The stories in this book will keep you intertained from the begining to the end and that is rare for any anthology. This book is well worth the price.

One would think by the tenth novel in a series, the author would be struggling for ideas. That's the advantage of an anthology; the more authors you have, the better the chance that the ideas remain fresh and new. Hot Blood X doesn't let down, though there are a couple of stories that strain to fit into the Hot Blood mold in terms of eroticism. As the series editors wrote in a previous Hot Blood novel, keeping that balance between eroticism and out-and-out porn is difficult. It becomes even more difficult when you're adding horror to the mix. However, most of the stories in Hot Blood X stand true to the balance being achieved and beyond. This tenth novel to the anthology didn't disappoint me. I was repulsed, aroused, shocked, excited and even scared. :) Worth a read, I promise!
