rackncheese's review against another edition
3.0
Some stories were better than others, and some really worked for me while others didn't, but that's how these little collections usually are. Overall, a very fun spread of cake-themed stories. This will definitely be a re-read for me.

3.5 stars rounded up to 4 for Goodreads.
Not a bad rating – especially for an anthology. There were a few misses for me here, but there were definitely more hits. What can I say besides, ‘I love cake.’

Disclaimer: I received e-book version of from Sliced Up Press in exchange for honest reviews. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
When one thinks of cake, they may think of sweetness and fluffiness, of happy life events being celebrated. This is not the case when it comes to the stories in Slashertorte.
The entries in this anthology range from the grief of losing loved ones, gaining popularity at the expense of another, fear of growing old, cannibalism, and cosmic horror, all using sweet confections as the central theme.
While every story was entertaining, the standout stories in this collection for me were: Tres Leches by V. Castro, Glut by E. Seneca, The Perfect Bite by Tiffany Michelle Brown, and One Year Anniversary by Red Lagoe.
Every morsel in this collection is deliciously prepared and served, and you won't be able to resist a single bite.
