K G Lewis presents a substantial collection of seventy-five short stories in Lacerations. The author delivers rapid, jagged narratives that span cosmic dread, supernatural encounters, and deeply personal fears.

One tale follows a detective forced to solve a deadly weekly puzzle or face death. Another features an employee of Paranormal Pest Control discovering something unexpected in a crawlspace. A different story involves a man who dies peacefully at eighty only to awaken in a pod on a spaceship. These examples illustrate the diverse range of horror flavors contained within. Lewis organizes these quick cuts into a relentless assault for those with strong stomachs. The book suits fans of gothic and supernatural fiction who prefer concise storytelling.
