Topic: Sleep Disorder (Read 330 times) |

If ever two authors were ideally suited for one another, it’s Ketchum and Lee. The five stories and two original versions (one by Ketchum and one by Lee) that make up SLEEP DISORDER prove how well they work together. The title story is newly penned by the duo and was written expressly for this collection.
Ketchum provides an insightful Afterword, and cover and interior art is by Harry O. Morris. Plus, you can first read the collaborations, and then take a look at the two original stories (one from each author) written before the collaboration. It's truly a unique glimpse at how these two authors blend their tremendous talents.
Tremendous talent is not even a strong enough word for what has been trapped within these pages... Ketchum's visceral visions combined with Lee's love of the truly twisted make for a wicked trip down some very unnerving paths.
"I'd Give Anything For You"... if ANYONE ever says that to you - run! don't look back... just run! Nothing like making sex a horrible thing and a visual that stays with you long after you've finished it!
"Love Letters From the Rain Forest"... good guys finish last, but hey sometimes they only appear to. A bitter tale that waits to grab you until the very end and even though you smell it coming, you wince and cheer at the same time!
"Masks"... good horror should always make you nervous along the way and then reinforce your fears at the end, Masks takes its job seriously!
"Eyes Left"... not your normal zombie story, and in case you wondered, there ARE things worse than death!
"Sleep Disorder"...gotta love a good revenge tale =) Evil, bitter, nasty - oh yeah, women are bad things...
And when you're done you get to read 'Good Seeing You' aka first draft of 'sleep disorder' - an amazing tale that was lovingly altered and twisted in just the right way for a wonderful collaboration piece!
And then 'I would do anything for you' first draft [note the 'do' and 'give' in the title change] a raunchy ride that gets tweaked into an unsettling argument for abstinence! Almost funny in parts but the end takes all the grins away and replaces them with grimaces...
Sharp concise writing, no frills in your face pacing, and characters that you love or love to hate... This collaborative collection is an amazing thrill ride that was over much too soon. If you are a fan of either of these writer's it's a must have - if for nothing else than to see how well they work with another writer - that is just as twisted as they are!
