Thank you for the opportunities to read this book. I have attempted it on a number of occasions but unfortunately I haven’t been able to get into it.

This book has ten very well written stories that take you places you never knew you'd go! Each one is well crafted, well planned and everything you need to get your interest up and your blood pumping!

This is a great collection of short horror tales. A must for anyone who likes their horror in small bites.

What a marvelous selection of creepy tales! Of course, I loved some of the stories more than others, but I can honestly say I enjoyed them all, without exception. More blood than in a full blood bank! More gore than in a gutted fish! More fiendish minds than in a psych ward! My only complaint? I wish that a few of the stories were full-length novels. Still, heartily recommended.

Outstanding short story/anthology collection. I am a fan of these types of book and most of the time there may be a few stories that may be lacking. I must say in this book, that is not the case. All these stories are very good reads. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the ARC of this book in return for my honest review.

An interesting anthology but not quite what I expected.

Single Slices Anthology, Volume One, edited by Patrick Beltran was received direct from the publisher. I do not recall reading this publishers books, though I most likely have, and if you read my reviews, you should know I like shorter stories i.e "short attention span theater." These stories start out fast and never let up, none of them. To me, this is one of the top three anthologies of the year. If you like horror stories that are more story than the dreaded character development that causes skimming, grab this anthology right now.

Review of Cutting Block Single Slices Volume 1
(Anthology) Patrick Beltran, ed.

Ten thoughtful stories by various authors create a venue to take the reader away from consensus reality, to shake us up and make us wonder "Could it really be possible?" I will categorize this collection as both speculative and horror, because of the "Could it be?" factor which operates so strongly throughout. Each story is worth the read (and the provoking of thought), but each reader will undoubtedly find particular personal favorites. For me, those are:
"Jackson House," "Florie Detail," "Dead Letter Department," and "Just After Sunset, In the Second Drawing Room Garden."
