I'm a sucker for short horror stories. Having just checked out the new horror anthology titled Moral Horror, I wasn't at all disappointed with the contents that were contained in this thin book. The stories themselves were dark in every sense of the word. Whether you have an appetite for a lot of gore, or if you're one of those people who love unhappy endings. This book has it all. There's even a classic within the pages of this book from the master of horror literature himself, Edgar Alan Poe where we get a little refresher of his piece Masque of the Red Death. It was truly refreshing to see that short story written in the pages of this book. It goes to show that the editor who was responsible for putting together the book knew the type of stories he wanted within the pages.
If you're looking for that one of a kind story that will creep the hell out of you, then Moral Horror is that story. Some of the material is depraved as hell. One such story is Brimstone Broadcasting. If you want sick and twisted just read that story and find out what mankind is really capable if they want to be sick and demented. The other stories are written exceptionally well. The Room of Evil Thought was visually creepy upon reading it. The other stories were well crafted and well thought out. If you're looking for a truly genuine creep out factor, then look no further in this horror anthology. Some of the best stories are written within, each of them are thought provoking and would have you wondering would be capable of committing a heinous act of violence like those of the characters within each story has committed? Just how far would you go to do something very sinister to another human being?

Dark Fiction Spotlight
When an anthology comes along with a word such as "moral" in the title, I am always expecting some sort of self-righteous proselytizing or religious innuendo disguised as a good horror story.
Moral Horror: Virtuous Horror Stories is not one of those books. Moral Horror is a teeth-gnashing spectacle of horror and gore that would make any gore hound squirm, at least a little. Filled with short stories by a host of newcomers (to me at least) and a couple from literary greats, this is a ghastly collection of stories with an underlying theme of morality.
In this collection we are taken to a room where evil dwells, into the mind of a murderous wife, on a grisly raft ride with a couple of castaways and into the rockin' heart of the devil himself. We are also taken back in time with a selection of horror stories from our own past, classic horror from literary masters. In this anthology we are treated with stories written by Jack London, Elia Wilkinson Peattie, Elise Hammersburg, Henry Muntz, Nick C. Hooper, Edgar Allan Poe, John Berwick Harwood, and Solomohn ('93Piebald\'94 Ennis).
Each of the eight stories presented in Moral Horror bring us into the darkest depths of human thought and bring out the basest emotions that lie dormant inside each of us. The stories within are gruesome and terrifying. They pull at the heart and the mind as well as the guts, leaving no sin unturned or unpunished. In the end, each of these pieces of fearful fiction will leave you thinking about life and death and the little dash in-between the dates on your tombstone that mean everything.
I heartily recommend picking up Moral Horror: Virtuous Horror Stories and reading the fiction within with a light on... (and with your heart open).

The short horror anthology, Moral Horror, is just that. A collection of dark fiction focusing on the most evil of all beings: humans. Peppered throughout with stories from writers of the past and the present, the human condition is on full display in all its startling terror.
Each writer tackles this theme differently-giving their own vista into a fully relatable story, where rationality gives way to our deepest demons or temptations. This anthology is essentially a testament; chronicling the beast within all humans.
Pick up a copy, sit back, and take a journey into a world where the road to hell is paved with good intentions. You will see exactly why this theme has permeated dark fiction since its inception. A must have for fans of all genres of horror. Ben Eads, horror writer and host of The Dark Fiction Show. © 2009 Ben Eads
