Advanced Acclaim for 100 Jolts: Shockingly Short Stories by Michael A. Arnzen:
“Simply stated, there’s >nothing< like this collection of ultra-short fiction. Arnzen continually impressed me with his punchy narrative style and endless images of grue, gore, and gristle. An evening with this book will leave you feeling like you've been guttted like a dead fish and hung out to dry." — Tom Monteleone, author of Blood of the Lamb
"100 Jolts delivers far more than is promised by its title; with this magnificent collection of literate and disturbing short-shorts, some which are among the darkly funniest I've ever read, Arnzen can rightfully claim his place as the Donald Barthelme of horror. This book is a remarkable achievement." — Gary A. Braunbeck, author of In Silent Graves
"Avant-horror is all about trespass (of narrative limits, of readerly expectations, of social decorum) and all about the disruption of what our culture thinks it needs to repress in order to remain whole and functioning. In these 100 wild-eyed fictive concentrates, Michael A. Arnzen, the wizard of outre, asks our culture to think again. And again.”
—Lance Olsen, author of Hideous Beauties
