Ruthless,an extreme shock horror collection is just that, in fact it's all of the above. Released by Pill Hill Press and boasting many talented authors, this collection of stories is guaranteed to find a nerve exposed and pluck it like an evil mariachi band on meth. But that is a good thing, in this age when we are so jaded and exposed to so much that we sometimes forget that we have limits we will not go beyond, Ruthless reminds us that there are far worse things out there.

from the bizarre custom human entertainment world of "Bebbel" into the realm of the cannibalistic "To Boil" and through the quirky dinner preparations of "Pumpkin Soup" this book has much to offer everyone who has forgotten what makes our skin crawl and our blood race. Pick up a copy today. 10/10
