WOW!!!!!!!!!!
Adersen Prunty's "Hi, I'm A Social Disease" is a collection of 7 great short stories.
"Room 19": The story of a man who, in the end gets what he deserves for the horrible things that he has done.
"Market Adjustment": This one takes place during an economic crash. One man sets out to try to set things right.
"The Dust Season": A traveling circus freak show. When Bradley sleeps with Eliza, there is hell to pay.
"The Man With The Face Like A Bruise": Another story in which cheating leads to dire consequences.
"The Photographer": A war veteran who committed the heinous gets his in the end.
"The Funeralgoer": A man who attends funerals and can "relive" how people died finds himself being used to help those recently brought back from the dead.
"The Night The Moon Made A Sound": A ghost story.
This is the first book that I have read despite having purchased just about all of Mr. Prunty's books. I buy faster than I can read and was looking forward to getting into something by him and decided to start with this and I am glad that I did.
This collection is jam packed with awesome stories. I really haven't given anything away in the descriptions that I posted above and I cannot recommend this collection enough.
Of the stories listed it was really hard to pick a favorite. They are all truly great reads.
But "The Night The Moon Made A Sound" deserves an award of some kind. It is one on the best ghost stories that I have ever read and well worth the cost of admission. I say again, I cannot recommend this collection enough. Pick this one up today! Looking forward to reading more by Mr. Prunty!!
Rainbows, Unicorns, & Dancing Bears - yeah, right
If you've ever read Prunty's work before, you would certainly recognize repeated themes such as the end of the world, despair, cannibalism, death, life after death, crazy, mind reading, tentacles, violence, loneliness, and more.
This collection is a little more uneven than some of his other collections. Room 19 is the standout of this collection and, while many have written about the end of the world and the breakdown of society, few have ever managed to capture the kind of bitter hopelessness that is set forth in Room 19.
Market Correction unfortunately wanders around in two many directions and lacks the singleminded focus of the other stories which take us readers on a dry brittle journey of pain and loneliness and despair. Vengeance has never been wrought so well.
If you want to read about dancing purple dinosaurs, you just might be in the wrong place.
I love horror bizarro
These stories are twisted in the best way possible.
