Top/Best of 2020
Wow. I went into this sweet fat baby with a positive attitude. Tom was new to me, completely. But I wasn’t scared, as he’s a BAMF. You’re gonna find out why.
I knew, seriously, by the middle of the third paragraph of the very first story, that Tom Over is truly someone very, very special. So very talented. Absolutely original. Massively creative, and told with such an economy of language, not a single word wasted or overused.
This baby also contains my now ALL TIME FAVORITE short story of 2020, probably of all time really. Prepare yourself for “Phylum” trust me.
Every tale was hand crafted and brewed with only the finest, all-natural ingredients.
I loved this book.
I love this book.
These stories WILL release serotonin into your brain. It’s absolutely wonderful.
5/5 Skulls

A consistently good collection of weird short stories. Dark, imaginative, and intriguing. There is quite a lot of body horror . The prose is engaging and beautiful.

"How I came to be here is clouded by fear and an instinctual need to be somewhere else, a safe place I cannot recall."
Often times short stories can fall flat. Some that are liked more than others and some that just do not leave a lasting impression.
This is not that book!
Every story was fantastic! Every. Single. One. These stories are worthy of diving into over and over!
A touch on many sub-genre's written with amazing effectiveness that had me completely captured by the darkness within. Visceral, grotesque, the stuff of nightmares, taking us to places of fear and dread.
An absolutely marvelous reading experience and highly recommended!

Imaginative and gory
Think Naked Lunch, Dead Alive, Metamorphosis, and John Waters mixed into a giant visceral ball. These were some highly imaginative, and gory short stories.
