This was a twisted romp through the mind of author, Duncan Ralston!

There are quite a few stories contained within this book so will just insert a few that grabbed my attention. The rest of the stories you will just have to grab the book and read it for yourself so you can also enter the mind of this author!

Cuttings: There is more than flower cuttings in this story.

Chompers: A different take on dentures.

Dead Men Walking: A man in an electric chair refuses to die.

The Eye at the Door: No privacy at all within a bathroom stall.

Sanctuary: When the animals rise up there will be hell to pay!

Do Not Shake or Rattle: Always read the warnings on presents!

Sharp: A blade grinder gets more than he bargained for when he tries to help a customer.

Video Nasties: A video tape that becomes all too real for the character in this story!

All the stories were really good and all of them have certain twists within the stories which gives this book a crazy ride into horror! Giving this book four "twisted" stars!

VIDEO NASTIES is a fantastically morbid collection of short tales by a writer who knows how to write. Ralston's work is engaging and fluid, moving from moment to moment like a pool of blood circling a mold and mildew-encrusted drain to the depths of Hell. I thoroughly enjoyed these shorts. All were entertaining, but my favorites by far were "Mental," "The Eye at the Door," "Cuttings," and this collection's eponymous short "Video Nasties."

I listened to the audiobook edition of this collection. The narration was high quality and engrossing, although there were a few pauses between words that came off awkward when parsing the meaning of the sentence. In any case, I highly recommend this book for fans of horror shorts. (

These were mostly fun, and very much in the spirit of the '70s & '80s horror gems that inspired the title. The title story in particular was great, and I could picture it on a straight-to-VHS shelf at the corner store (or in a lovingly shot homage like "House of the Devil" or "The Love Witch"). It was a bit uneven, though, with not all of the stories living up to the same standards. (
