Bullets, Teeth and Fists 3 by Jason Beech

First things first, with a title like Bullets, Teeth and Fists, how can you go wrong?  Then, add to that the fact that this is the third volume in a series and you realize you really have stumbled across a hidden gem.  This was another book I was sent by Blackthorn Book Tours, the second actually and I was extremely anxious to get to it.  I knew from the start that it was a collection of short stories but, I had no idea what I was getting into.
 
These stories aren’t all your normal, run-of-the-mill short horror stories.  Some display the classic earmarks of terror that every horror lover lives for while others are more abstract and shall we say, creative in inducing those hairs on the back of your neck to stand up, your bottom jaw to hang open and your fingers to prepare to turn the page in anticipation before you’re even halfway done reading it.

Bullets, Teeth and Fists 3 is a fantastic collection of everything, something for every kind of horror fanatic.  Every twisted tale careful crafted to lure you in and keep you there, holding you hostage amongst the words, your only escape is the satisfaction of getting to the end and finding out what lies in store.  And as that sense of relief sets in, the very next piece of fiction takes you for another morbid ride.
 
I was a little bummed when I found out this was the third book in the series and I was just hearing about it.  After reading this one, I am DEFINITELY going to want to get the first two, without a doubt.  This author, Jason Beech, has his own style which incorporates the best qualities of horror and fiction.  He doesn’t always give you the answer, sometimes he lets your wheels spin…and perhaps, sometimes, it’s better to not know what happens past a certain point.
 
One thing I want to say that just kept rattling around in my head as I was reading through this book was how much it seemed like an adult version of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.  While certainly not all campfire type stories, they do have a certain ebb and flow as you move swiftly through the pages.  I found it to be fun and refreshing, not to mention a very enjoyable approach to horror writing.  I am quite the lover of short horror stories and I certainly love whole collections and series done by individual authors.  I think it’s because you get to see the vast imagination of the author while they still stay within one genre.  Yes, it takes a lot of skill to bring an entire novel to fruition but, to create a collection of short stories and have them be a strong representative sample of the immense talent along the horror spectrum that you, as the author, possess, I find that to be quite an accomplishment as well.
