This is such a huge disappointment for me. I was incredibly excited to read this book. The cover artwork, the anthology topic...what horror buff doesn't love found footage movies?... I was very intrigued by the idea of found footage stories, everything drew me in.

My excitement lasted right up until the 6th story... Spewed News. I simply cannot believe how politically biased this story is....shockingly so. The entire plot is centered around bashing the right wing. At one point, the narrator even expresses that if you are reading this, you must veer left.....is this supposed to insinuate republicans don't read??Or is it an acknowledgement of the offensive nature of the story?? I'm independent, but even I found it offensive.

I've never liked it when authors impart their personal ideology in their writing. I prefer to read material that is politically neutral and devoid of strong social ideology influences. Reading is a hobby, it should be enjoyable and stress free, an escape from real world issues. This was just blatant political agenda garbage. I'm astounded as to why Iglesias and Cull would include a story like this. Do they feel its ok to ridicule ppl based on their political views? Are they trying to alienate their republican readers?? I find this unacceptable.

Unfortunately, this isn't the only unacceptable faux pas found in these pages....another story name drops , in a disturbingly negative way, both James Charles, a popular YouTube personality, and Dr. Phil, I don't believe he needs an introduction....both are represented in critical light. I doubt either granted their permission to be used here. Another story attacks religion and heavily implies having a religious Mother and friend drove a teenager to become a psychopath.

I am beyond disappointed with this anthology. It's a shame, because this was a great book otherwise, the other stories included were all really good. Unfortunately, I will not be reading any work by either writer in the future. I simply cannot support anyone who would so callously attack particular groups of their readers, the very ppl who purchase their work, thereby creating their income. Including these stores exhibits extremely poor taste :(… (plus d'informations)
