FANGORIA MAGAZINE REVIEW

"Cover every orifice. Comet Press' new collection SICK THINGS: AN ANTHOLOGY OF EXTREME CREATURE HORROR is making a beeline for the soft contents of your body—and it doesn't care one bit where it makes its grand entrance, orbital sockets or otherwise. Rest assured this violation will be painful, given the tight confinements of our fallible frames of flesh—but anything less than a full-on ass-rape would probably seem insufficient in the eyes of editrix Cheryl Mullenax. Read on at your own stomach's peril."

FATALLY YOURS REVIEW

"If you are an extreme fan of horror looking for the ultimate in disgusting, vile and disturbing fiction, Sick Things: An Anthology of Extreme Creature Horror is a must-read…just make sure you have your barf bag handy!"

TOXIC GRAVEYARD REVIEW

"Recently I’ve discovered the awesomeness that is Comet Press. There is a myriad of small press horror publishers out there, and more seem to be popping up all the time. Many times these small press companies promise “extreme” horror but often what you get is a poorly edited book riddled with grammatical and spelling errors with mediocre unknowns sandwiched between old stories from established authors. Thank goodness for Comet Press. I’ve reviewed their previous releases Vile Things and The Death Panel and loved em both. The bar was set high for Sick Things, and it soared over it on cloven hoof."

Ratings and reviews

Many of the stories are poorly written and unimaginative. Most of them attempt to go for a shock factor, but they come off as ridiculous, like the first story. There's a few that aren't complete garbage later in the book, but I can count them on one hand. I'd recommend it for anyone who's really bored and has five bucks to spare.

This book is awful. It relies entirely on being shocking and "offensive". I do not recommend at all.

The same as movies that rely on jump scares. Wasted my money.
