This is a book of spores. These stories, you breathe onto the page and they float up into your mucous membranes, their spiky edges lodging characters and voices in your head that shudder to life when you least expect it. Just when you think you've closed the book, it opens up all over again, inside you." —Stephen Graham Jones, author "Burnt Tongues' 20 stories "are as eclectic as the authors themselves", said Titan Books, which has just acquired the book in the UK, with titles ranging from Zombie Whorehouse to Mind and Soldier." —The Guardian "Anyone looking for boundary-breaking tales that also pack a haunting, powerful punch will find hours of entertainment here." — Carl Hays, Booklist Fans of transgressive fiction authors such as Palahniuk will enjoy this selection. . . ." —Brooke Bolton, North Manchester P.L., IN, Library Journal Review Dark, subversive and disquieting fiction for readers ready to go all the way down. —Kirkus Reviews Within the covers of this wonderfully disturbing, squirm-inducing collection, you'll find all the mortifying, self-inflicted scars you go through great pains to hide from even our closest intimates. . . . Sometimes you'll want to avert your eyes or silently close the book, never to touch it again, but stay with it. There's real soul and humanity lurking under all the fluids and scars, and you'll emerge all the better for tackling it head on, albeit in want of a shower or two afterwards." —Dino Parenti, Pantheon Magazine The off-the-wall subject matter is balanced well with pathos and compassion, and the end result is a powerful bunch of stories that you won't soon forget." —Josh Black, Hellnotes, "This is a book of spores.

      Great stories, not all are as disturbing as I’d prefer but it’s definitely entertaining. Any fans of Palahniuk, Pollock, or Gaiman will appreciate it.
