Review "It won the Bram Stoker Award for superior achievement in an anthology, and for good reason. If you love stories that twist and turn the screws, that thrill, disturb and unsettle, if you like to walk on the darker and stranger side of the street, then this is anthology is just what the mad doctor ordered." -- Barnes & Noble Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog"From the alluring foreword written by the astonishing Josh Malerman, to the table contents packed with writers who have true magic up their sleeves, to the otherworldly artwork, Behold! truly is a thing of beauty and wonder. Its an anthology of the strange and mystic, of darkness and prevailing light and it will knock your socks off. Its uniquely split into three categories, Oddities, Curiosities, and Undefinable Wonders, pairing handfuls of stories in each, every category just as satisfying as the one before it. The tales draw you in with the charm of a sideshow barker, promising your imagination things it has never seen before, and a few it may wish it could soon un-see." -- This is Horror"...the lesser-known authors are not carried by the veterans but proudly skip ahead, leading the way." -- Cemetery Dance "Every story will leave you wanting more." -- Horror Novel Reviews Long Description Want to see something weird?

Review Quote "Having enjoyed Gutted: Beautiful horror stories, I jumped at the opportunity to take an early look at Behold! Oddities, Curiosities and Undefinable Wonders. As was the case with Gutted, I wasnt disappointed. Edited by Doug Murano, Behold! features stories from a fantastic group of authors whose stories are separated into three groups: Oddities, Curiosities, and Undefinable Wonders. The stories themselves offer a wide range of adventures, some tugging at the heart strings, others creating a perfect sense of dread, and others still making you laugh out loud. Overall, the antholoy was a fun romp through words, each story like a new flavor of candy, ever so sweet and delicious. Favorites of mine were Lisa Mortons "LaRues Dime Museum," Stephanie Wytovichs poem "An Exhibition of Mother and Monster," John Langans "Madame Paint: For Sale," Neil Gaimans "Chivalry," and John F.D. Taffs "A Ware That Will Not Keep."" --Kenneth W.
