Book Reviews of 100 Jolts: Shockingly Short Stories
Book Review: Horror at its best
Summary: 5 Stars
Michael Arnzen's 100 Jolts is a must for all readers and writers alike. Arnzen uses the language to create beautiful images that are sometime funny, sometimes sad, often gross, and always original. Stories can be enjoyed at the surface or you can delve deeper to find more meaning. At only a few hundred words a piece (or much less in some cases), this is remarkable. It shows us that horror writing can be tight and poignant and literary despite the "bad rap" that horror often gets.
The only way this book could have been better is if it were titled 10,000 Jolts.
Summary of 100 Jolts: Shockingly Short Stories
100 Jolts features one hundred short shots of fiction guaranteed to stun. Arnzen has honed his craft to deliver the highest voltage using the fewest words. Released as a paperback in 2004 this ground-breaking collection is considered by many to be a pioneering work in the flash fiction movement. It broke publishing barriers to micro-fiction, inspired many authors, has been adapted to film and audio, and was also a finalist for the Bram Stoker Award. This expanded edition contains, Aftershocks, a battery of newly added stories, as well as bonus writing prompts, and a brand new Afterword.Horror Books
