Stitched Lips: An Anthology of Horror from Silenced Voices

Have you ever considered the horror of silence, or more exactly the horror of being silenced? This is the reflection this anthology invites you to through its multi-voice exploration of the theme. Some stories are graphic, some are quite obvious in their message while others are all subtlety. Most of the stories fall under the it could really happen/all monsters are human brand of horror.

There is only one story that I would consider as being extreme horror (Aristotle's Lantern by Joanna Koch) and my was it stomach churning but also just wow.

Upon turning the last page I was left with a deep sense of discomfort and a low buzz of anxiety, a sure sign of effective horror in my book (no surprise considering the caliber of the authors assembled in this anthology).
