Teenage Grave is a compact 68-page horror anthology from indie publisher, Filthy Loot. There are four short stories within this extremely well-designed piece, each focusing on the hallmark qualities of indie, underground horror.
STALE AIR - Jo Quenell.
Starts with an estranged family reunion chock-full of unsettling tension, ends with something disturbing and slimy. Unexpected!
I KNOW NOT THE NAMES OF THE GODS TO WHOM I PRAY - Sam Richard.
Intimate and tragic portrayal of grief. Sam Richard shows us how grief can be tortuously cyclical.
APATE’S CHILDREN - Brendan Vidito.
Atonement and grief, as told through a bite-sized Greek retelling of Apate. Gore and desperation lived within this short’s pages.
START TODAY - Justin Lutz.
Start Today’s main character stumbles upon an emotional support group for men, aiming to transform his life into something of his own design. Body horror for the gods.
Teenage Grave is a perfect taste of indie horror, for new and seasoned horror readers.
Start Today was my favorite within this collection, but there is a little something for everyone.
