DescriptionJeffrey Thomas - Thirteen Specimens Thomas’ visceral brand of blood-laced horror has been showcased in four previous collections and included in the Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror anthologies. His latest assortment of macabre tales and odd, Edward Gorey-like lists proves that his creative vision, while still favoring gruesome scenarios, continues to expand. In “These Are the Exhibits,” a visitor to a little-known museum gets an unexpected tour of its grisly displays from a ghostly docent. “Close Enough” takes place during an alternate-history version of the Vietnam War and follows a photojournalist through a landscape of mayhem, under the watchful eyes of a bloodthirsty race of insectile aliens. In a detour through the futuristic city of Punktown, the setting of several novels, Thomas pits a compassionate surgeon against a clan of extraterrestrials who purposely disfigure their females. Keeping with his cataloging obsession, Thomas supplements the stories with a random, distasteful recipe; an unusual psychiatric classification; and even an otherworldly T-shirt design. Readers who don’t mind high body counts will enjoy Thomas’ quirky humor and distinctively twisted view of human nature.
