Voyeurs of Death by Shaun Jeffrey Search Amazon for other books by or about Shaun Jeffrey. Rating: Reviewed by: Marie Jones

I first heard of Shaun Jeffrey on MySpace of all places. Loving good horror fiction as I do, I wanted to see if he was any good, so he sent his book to me for review. Voyeurs of Death blew me away. Jeffrey's collection of short horror combines eroticism and surrealism with sheer terror, resulting in some of the most bone-chilling fiction I've read in my five years as a popular book reviewer for several websites.

To say that these are tales of the macabre would be selling this bold new talent short, because Jeffrey takes the typical scarefest material to the very edge, and threatens to push you, the reader, over the side with his characters. There are stories so creepy, so horrific, even shocking, that you gotta wonder what's up with this guy! I mean, anyone who can turn the sheer sexual shock value of dogging into something utterly sinister...well, this author is not at all afraid to push the envelope of what traditional horror writers often strive to achieve, but fall short of.

In the end, I become another fan of Shaun Jeffrey, doomed to wait out his next collection of punch-in-the-gut horror and Lord knows what else he throws in there. His stories play upon our deepest fears, and at times, our deepest desires. And ultimately we are forced to admit that when it comes to death...we are all voyeurs.
