A note for parents
This is an adult horror anthology with 19 short stories centered on technology-driven nightmares and psychological terror. The collection contains intense horror elements including descents into madness and mayhem, with at least one story directly referencing graphic violence ("Daddy's in a Snuff Film"). While the stories emphasize atmosphere and concept over gratuitous gore, the subject matter and experimental narrative style are designed for mature audiences, not younger readers.

Booth and Michelle (Lost Signals) deliver a collection of 19 technological horror shorts that are rich in imagination but woefully inconsistent in quality. Bookended by two bland head-scratchers, "Lather of Flies" by Brian Evenson and "The Fantastic Flying Eraser Heads" by David James Keaton, this anthology features all manner of descents into madness, horror, and mayhem, aided by the largely inhuman hand of technology. Entries include the intensely, weirdly atmospheric ("I Hate All That Is Mine" by Leigh Harlen) and the frustratingly, mind-bendingly experimental ("Daddy's in a Snuff Film" by Kelby Losack). John C. Foster's "Archibald Leech, The Many-Storied Man," Brian Asman's "A Festival of Fiends," and Eugenia M. Triantafyllou's "Ghost Mapping" are exceptional offerings that sacrifice neither storytelling nor style in realizing their thought-provoking concepts.
