Reading Bleed left me terrified and moved more than I should admit. The book is a collection of short stories and poems collected to fight children's cancer. It is a book of horror.

We have stories that act as extended metaphors, and stories that remind us why we bought this book in the first place. Since this is a
BLEED is one of the best anthologies of collected works I've read this year and maybe ever. The bonus being that it is for such a good cause. The introduction is very heartfelt and hopeful. There are so many great pieces it's very difficult to pick and choose favorites, but the first story, "With Paper Armour and Wooden Sword" is very well done, and was a bit of tear jerker for me. "Sludge" is another favorite, "Ears," "Dance of the Blue Lady," "King Rat," "All the Sludge," "Never Enough" (which...
How do you feel about cancer? Have you ever really thought about it? Have you, God forbid, had to experience it? If someone asked you to illustrate it or describe it--if someone asked you to put a face on it--what would cancer look like?Pick up a copy of Bleed; a scary-as-hell charity anthology benefiting kids with cancer, and you'll get a vivid picture of just how terrifying it can be.The contributing authors paint a sobering picture of the horror of the disease--perhaps not in the realism of t...
