Before I start with my review I would like to ask you a question, what's the first thing that attracts you to a book? For me, it's the cover, it's very important (I know there are great books out there with shitty covers but the story is amazing), then I go for the blurb followed by reviews or recommendations from my Twitter/Instagram friends who know my taste.
That's what happened with Jay's book "Hanging Corpses". Just look at the cover; it's perfect for a horror short story novel. I instantly reached out to the author, Jay Bower and requested an ARC which he graciously sent me.
There are 15 horrific tales, from a vampire living in a dead world (Good luck with that Mr Blood sucker!!) to a haunted hotel to a church with hellish connections!!.
Some are one or two pages long, others longer but they're all so good and creepy. It's my first read by Jay and I was hooked.
There are a few which I would love to see expanded, as they left me wanting more but sometimes the shorter the better as it leaves you with awe thinking "OMG what have I just read!!".
I highly recommend it to all horror lovers, you will not be disappointed.
