This is a great anthology full of awesome stories. Of course the metal bands were always my thing. I just went and saw Motley Crue two weeks ago, so yea, I loved the metal band theme for these stories. Some of my favorite stories in this book were: The Plaster Casters Rise Again - Charie D. La Marr; Sinister Cavan - Jim Goforth; Rio Grande Blood - Chris Kelso; Ex-Punk - MP Johnson; Death Call - Christopher Hivner; and Rock and Roll All Night - Sephera Giron.All of the stories were very good, I e...
I really liked this book and the way each story was presented. I don’t think you need to be a fan of heavy meatal music, or this genera of material because the writing that each story offers holds up on their own. At least for me. I will say that like any group of stories there are some that stand out for each person. For me the two stories written by, Charie D. La Marr, the first one I think she could actually write an entire book from that story it really was amazing, from the characters to th...
This is an incredible collection. This is 576 pages of bad-ass, gore-soaked heavy metal thunder! I recognized only a few of the names in the table of contents, but every story in this book captures the true essence of metal, of rock and roll, and all of them kept me riveted (always impressive, as far as anthologies are concerned.) Like a killer album, every "track" in Axes of Evil is a single, all strong and well-performed, but here are some of my favorites:"Battle of the Bands" by Joel Kaplan i...
hahaha not yet finished, far from it but since it's a colection of shorts I can pick any story I want :D. So I started with Jeff O'Brians short "The Cold and Lonely Tombstone of Angus Smith" and I've to say briliant, it remindet me a bit about the good old times when the Horror movies were really creepy cause they build up a certain kind of suspense over the time and don't gave away everything in the first 5 minutes ;)So five stars for that one.Next on the Axis of Evil list Joel Kaplans "Battle
Excellent variety with a unifying theme of metal. From gory and shocking to slapstick comedy, there was something for everyone!
What's better than a big book full of horror fiction? The answer is a big book of horror stories that are about Heavy Metal music. Axes Of Evil is a heavy metal anthology for people who are passionate about metal music and horror fiction. There are 34 stories in this collection that go from supernatural horror to comedy to splatterpunk. Axes of Evil is edited by music journalist and horror writer Alex S. Johnson and it includes stories from Sephera Giron, Terry M. West and Charie D. La Marr.Ther...
I really wanted to like this book, as I'm a lifelong fan of both horror and heavy metal. Maybe my expectations were too high, because I was disappointed.First of all, the book should be about half as long. There are 36 stories, and of those I liked 11. That made the book a chore to get through. Most of the rest of the stories weren't actively bad, they were just "meh." I'm sure I won't remember them in a week. Second, I expected more of a connection to heavy metal. Some of the stories felt like
As I've mentioned before, writing a review for a book written - or edited - by a friend can be daunting. Thankfully all my friends know that I am honest and will call it like I read it.Having just finished Axes of Evil, I can say it's really hit and miss. I wanted to give it a three and a half but half stars aren't available. But here is my assessment:"Notation in Crimson" - Mary Genevieve Fortier. Let me start off by saying I hate poetry. The only two poems I can even tolerate are The Raven by
There are just some thing you think there should be more of, but you don't realize it until you see it for the first time. It's like when the Eggo waffle folks finally got around to making their own syrup. How hard of an idea was that to pop out? And how long did that take them? It's not rocket surgery, folks. I felt the same way when I heard about Axes of Evil, an anthology of horror stories based with heavy metal music as the central theme. Heavy metal and horror, the chocolate and peanut butt...
