Summary

Year's Best Hardcore Horror Volume 2.

Not your mama's best-of horror annual.

This year brings 22 more in-your-face stories that break boundaries and trash taboos, transgressive tales you can't "unread" (as Chuck Palahniuk says).

Some of the stories you'll find here are loaded with very graphic descriptions of violence, sex, and depravities, while others may contain only one shocking moment of brutality. In others, the hardcore aspect may be less graphic and subtler than you might expect. Some of these quieter tales offer the listener some time to recover from the more disturbing ones preceding.

disappointing in the extreme

the only thing hardcore about this book is my disappoinment. volume one was great so of course I wanted the next installment. but it rubbish.

ever story is weak, self gratifying and not scary.
when it is hardcore ( porn) it's not even good porn. clumsy and unimaginative.
returned title and will not bother with volume 3

Simply not as good as volume 1

I really really enjoyed volume 1....Nearly every story was a hit

I ended up skipping a fair few of these stories in volume 2 half way through just down to simple boredom

This was far less shocking than the first too

This is defo the B side of stories

Very let down :(

Beyond dull

Mind-numbingly boring. Well narrated, but nothing to work with here.

Neither hardcore nor horror

It is an extremely lazy offering after a decent first instalment. I hope the next few are better, I bought them all in one go!

Avoid this.

Scary and fabulous

A scary and fabulous collection of twist tales and chilling stories. Recommended for those that like a good fright.
