Have Your Brain and Eat It Too

An early review of 100 Jolts: Shockingly Short Stories just came out in the FlashFictionFlash Newsletter and it’s really quite positive. Here’s a sample (with a hilarious title)….

from “Have Your Brain and Eat it Too: The Delicious Horror of Michael Arnzen” — review by John Young:


“Arnzen’s prose is infectious. His intimacy with horror-even if it’s not a genre you normally read-will entice you. He writes most of his introductory flash stories in the second person, reeling readers into encounters you probably never contemplated, but soon find yourself fascinated with. Take for example a sentence from story number nine, “Resonant Eyes: “If you lick your fingertip and run it steadily around the rim of the eye socket, you can produce a tone as deep and hollow as a bassoon.” My first impression was, wait a minute! How does he know that! After the first few stories, your curiosity desires to know more. … Arnzen succeeds in shocking his readers with his 100 Jolts. He is a
master of the short form ”
