A little over a year ago we reviewed Brandon Ford's latest novel, Pay Phone. At the end of that review I mentioned that I was curious how good his other works were. Well, I just finished his latest, a collection of short stories entitled Decayed Etchings, and I have to say he's delivered the goods, 18 fold.
Decayed Etchings is without a doubt one of the best collections of stories I've had the pleasure of reading. Brandon Ford is definitely making himself known as one horror writer to keep an eye on. He brings chills and violence that will satisfy even the most die hard horror fan.
I could go story by story but to be honest, I loved all of them and can find fault with none. Ford may just be one of horror's new masters.
If I had any complaints, it was that there are only 18 stories here. I wanted more. In fact, when I hit the last page, my jaw dropped. More damnit! I really can't wait for Decayed Etchings 2. Not too mention whatever he has up his sleeve for his next novel.
Decayed Etchings is available for purchase now at Black Bed Sheet Books. I would get yourself a copy right now. It's a perfect way to space out those Game of Thrones
