Publisher Description
No one shakes the hive of imagination like author Christian Baloga.
In this explosive debut collection of short stories, Baloga explores the terror you think you've felt; the dark places you think you know—think again. Some things are more disturbing than your worst nightmares.
In these thirteen twisted tales, we meet an alcoholic who's obsessed with a tattoo of his dead daughter ("Digging Deep"); split Siamese twins with a sinister connection ("Poison Ivy"); two morbid magicians determined to make their final trick unforgettable ("Dusk to Dust"); an army of vengeful wasps who stop at nothing to rebuild a nest (“Unraveling the Nest”); and many more.
You'll never again look at the world the same way.

Entertaining!
It kept me entertained the whole time! This book takes you through so many emotions (disgust, hate, greed, ambition, anger, delight) and it does so in a superbly evil way. The collection is well written, very graphic, and examines terror through previously unexplored plots. Humans and beasts, children and elderly—nobody is safe between these pages. It's full of strong twists and turns throughout that keep you turning the pages and wanting more. If I were to compare it to something, a modern "Tales From the Crypt" comes to mind. I'm about to read it for the second time. Highly recommended!
Woah! Awsome!
This is a great collection and one that deserves reading from not just fans of horror, but those who enjoy taking a peek into what could be, no matter how outrageous. The action and suspense is gripping and entertaining—it will not disappoint. I had trouble putting this gruesome, gripping, and ultimately insightful read down. Trust me, you want this!
Loved it!
My new favorite book!
