Burnt Fur - ARC Review

Thank you to NetGalley and Bloodbound Books for giving me a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own. **Please Note** This contains a mix of stories, some may be erotic or bizarro in addition to horror and dark fantasy.

If you are faint of heart or weirded out by furries, you may want to sit this one out. If your mind is open, then you may just find a treasure trove of the bizarre! This (primarily body horror) short story anthology is 172 pages of tales of the weird, the creepy, and the crazy.

Standout stories: “Mallard’s Maze” (duck-people and murder); “The Hamford Pigs” (when you wear a mask, you become your true self); “The Others” (features a life-size panda who only our MC can see); and “Ware the Deep” (shifters and murder). There are many more, but these are the ones that stuck with me.

Most of the stories focus on a sado-sexual theme rather than “true” horror, but it's really well written when the horror gets going. I can’t think of a story that sticks out as lacking. This book (out now) will have you laughing and squirming in equal measure!
