An attempt at a collection of splatterpunk stories - with a Foreward by David J. Schow, no less! - most of the stories in this collection either miss the mark or come awfully close, but could have used a bit more polish, especially when to comes to pacing and delivery. Not a bad attempt, but the bad art scattered throughout doesn't help.
I give this a little above a meh, mainly on the basis of style points. I tend to like these types of stories a bit darker and scarier. I read a ton of horror and this novel/novella didn’t really have anything that for me made it stand out from the lots of other similar stories out there.
3.5/5 stars. A quirky and funny look at what happens when God up and quits and other gods from defunct pantheons want to take over his job. (Provided by publisher)

The elder gods, led by Yahweh, fight for the freedom of humans to choose for themselves.… (plus d'informations)
