6/23/2023 0 Comments Blood Crazy by Simon Clark![]() ![]() ![]() This is a nice opener for the collection, filled with mystery, dread, and gruesome things happening to people you love to hate. But why is the house deserted and why is there an unnatural amount of salt that seems to cover the whole house? Their latest target –an old manor house by the sea- is occupied by a lone 18-year old girl, someone who should not pose any problem for the posse. Viper and his gang of traveling punks/vandals live off breaking and entering estates and looting the contents within. Don’t forget to read the classic creep-fest “Swallowing A Dirty Seed” at the end as well as the much-anthologized “A Grave-digger’s Tale”. So I elected to discuss the first seven stories plus two good representatives from the rest of the bunch. There is something for every horror fan here, be it violent stunners or calm and introspective (and maybe still gruesome) ghost stories.Īs usual, I planned to discuss all the stories but that would break the word count limit here in Goodreads. ![]() “Simon Clark! I know him! He’s the dude that writes about killer plants (Night of the Triffids), killer parents (Blood Crazy), killer Norse Vampires (Vamphyrric) and other killers.” (Random Horror book fan)īut do you know that he also writes great Aickman-Esque ghost stories and weird fiction? Or parables set in those lonely Greek islands? You wouldn’t know unless you have read this superb and eclectic collection. Simon Clark’s eclectic writing style is aptly represented in this great collection ![]()
