Visceral story of a boy whose 16th birthday party takes a surprising turn...to say the least. No real takeaways from this, but as an exercise in gore, it's pretty effective. ( )

What do you do when your boy turns into a man?

You FEAR him!

In A is for Antichrist, Isaac gets to celebrate his sixteenth birthday in style: no parents and hopefully a house full of teenagers. Instead, there's a whole lotta... trouble?

This is a short story, but it's also the very beginning of a huge series. Writer Iain Rob Wright, the author of such titles as The Peeling Trilogy (reviewed in 2015) and The Final Winter, has an alphabet full of horror. A is for Antichrist is part of the A-Z of Horror: Complete Collection: Fear from beginning to end set. I am going to grab this book, because if the entire alphabet is anything like the beginning, it should be fun! To be very fair, it is a bit gory but not heavily detailed to make you uncomfortable, or grossed

out. I believe each letter is a short story that dives deeper into the mind of the reader, disturbing them - but I don't know yet!

For a short story, it was written just right. Should I purchase the entire collection, I have a feeling, the story will pick up where this one left off, but with other issues to tie in the apocalypse, but of biblical proportions. I have to find out.

Check out A is for Antichrist and get the ball rolling, while I move on to the next read! Cheers!
