References and tropes of horror cinema and literature are lovingly inverted and expanded upon with amazing results. With references to Poe and Lovecraft right alongside Coffin Joe and Drácula, Grey not only knows the genre but he knows how to keep it interesting. Most importantly though, these stories are fun to read. The overarching themes of loss, death and upheaval are tempered with good old fashioned dripping monsters and haunted mansions (the Nick Gucker cover art sets the tone for the book perfectly). If you're a fan of the horror genre pick this collection up, you will not be disappointed.

You should be afraid of painted monsters By Liv "Painted Monsters & Other Strange Beasts" is a collection of 13 short stories, with comments from Orrin Grey at the end of each tale. As you might infer from the title and excellent Nick Gucker cover art, all involve a monster, or monsters. Aside from the general themes of monsters and horror, the stories are varied in time, place, and style. I'd rather not spoil any particular story by pairing it with the genre, but you'll find a few Lovecraft Mythos entries, some deals with the devil, hauntings, and a vampire or two.Each entry in "Painted Monsters & Other Strange Beasts" left me satisfied, yet hungry for more. Fortunately, Grey is refreshingly open about the sources of his inspiration in his notes on each tale, essentially providing the reader with a further reading and viewing list. I'm particularly keen to follow up on the bizarre real life events which inspired "Strange Beast", a found footage/journal style glimpse into a giant monster film gone very wrong.I look forward to reading more from Orrin Grey, and will be keeping my eye out more Word Horde titles as well because editor Ross E. Lockhart has a keen eye for selecting solid entries in his anthologies.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Monsters! By CKDelay ORRIN GREY LOVES MONSTERS "Nobody in the lab had any idea what it was then, of course, but the first one who touched it died instantly. His hair turned white, he fell to the floor choking and slapping at his chest. By the time anyone else got to him, he'd ossified, and there were hundreds of spiders crawling out of his mouth and nose."SIGN ME UP! Honestly I bought this book because everyone kept posting pictures of themselves with it, and the cover was so great. Contrary to what a lot of people think, you don't need to know a lot about horror movies through the ages to enjoy this, you just need to like horror in general and monsters in particular. These stories are generally pretty short and wrap up quickly, and they are all really unique, no two alike, except for the fact they often riff on a pre-established horror motif, vampires, Jack the Ripper, kaiju, found footage, etc., and two stories have the classic 2-guys-digging-up-a-corpse-in-the-graveyard thing.If the current trend of this megamegamega dark, introspective, existential horror writers (I'll call them Ligotti's Babies) is driving you away from the bookstore and back to your old Tales From the Crypt/ Vault of Horror comic books, take heart and heed -- this book is a lean, mean, monstrous machine.
