Publisher's Summary

2019. The year certainly made its mark on the world - and more than its share of scars. It also made for a bounty of good horror stories of the extreme kind, the best of which the tales herein serve to illustrate. 

2019 was the year Year's Best Hardcore Horror went global. Not by design but because the stories inside just happened to have been written by authors hailing from various parts of the globe. From Australia by way of South Africa, to Italy, Scotland, Norway, Taiwan, North America and India - the common denominator being that their tales come from darkest regions of imagination.

Quality stories, but too tame for my taste.

Compared to Volumes 1-3, nothing in here made my stomach turn or forced me to pause and take a break, so I'm bit disappointed. Are we going soft? The stories were fine on their own, but could use significantly more gore. The narrator did a good job on all the male voices as well, even the gritty ones, so no complaints there. Favourite: What Did You Do To the Children
