I hate to say this, but my thoughts would immediately leap to contrived and cliched attempts to take \u201csins\u201d and turn them into horror stories built out of shock value, nothing more. <\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, considering this is a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.farolightpublishing.com\/cutting-block\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cutting Block Books<\/a> product, co-edited by D. Alexander Ward, and considering the contributing authors, I expected a lot more from <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Seven Deadliest<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and I&#8217;m pleased to say it delivered. What makes this collection work so well is the interpretation of \u201csins\u201d not as \u201cevil actions\u201d which are then soundly \u201cjudged\u201d in trite morality plays, but as the weaknesses and flaws we all share as humans. I&#8217;m only guessing, but this could also explain the omission of \u201csins\u201d from the book&#8217;s title. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(It&#8217;s very possible much of this is touched upon in the foreword by Mercedes Yardley. Much as I love her work, I generally don&#8217;t read collection forwards, because I want to go into the stories cold. I also didn&#8217;t read the story afterwords, just because I generally don&#8217;t).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of the stories are well-crafted and well -written, but, as it always is with collections, some stories stood out more than others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In \u201cA Short Madness,\u201d Bracken MacLeod tells the poignant story of a priest burdened by the sins he encounters every day as he tries to minister to his flock, despite the fact that he&#8217;s largely lost his faith. Like so many of us, this priest struggles with a growing anger over the injustice which thrives in our world. He wants to do something about it, despite his priestly orders to have faith in the Lord&#8217;s justice, not man&#8217;s. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When someone he&#8217;d grown close to dies in a drunken driving accident, he&#8217;s offered the chance to avenge their deaths&#8230;though it will mean giving in to his anger and wrath, as he seeks to take justice into his own hands. In this story, MacLeod does a wonderful job portraying someone whose faith has grown weary bearing the burdens of the world. Back in my college days I briefly considered a life in ministry, and I can very easily see myself growing weary carrying that same burden.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cChisel and Stone\u201d by Bryan Kirk offers a very nuanced look at \u201cjealousy,\u201d and is also very timely in \u00a0its subject matter. The young, attractive wife of a rich lawyer is determined to \u201cdo\u201d something \u201cworthwhile\u201d with her life. Realizing she lives a life of plenty, she wants to give back to the world&#8230;but of course, the problem is, all the other rich wives do so many <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">impressive<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, splashy looking \u201cgood deeds.\u201d What could she possibly do which would be worthwhile&#8230;and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">more<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> worthwhile than their endeavors?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here&#8217;s the clever hook with this story: Where&#8217;s the jealousy angle? Is Tracy&#8217;s determination to engage in some great philanthropic act genuine? Or does she simply want to one-up the \u201cgood works\u201d of her fellow rich wives? Is her husband jealous of her good intentions, or jealous of something <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">else? <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are her friends really so racist&#8230;or are they subtly jealous of her kindness and empathy? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And the subject matter&#8212;taking in a young Arabic man wrongfully imprisoned without trial for suspected terrorist ties, and the racist hatred this sparks in Tracy&#8217;s community&#8212;couldn&#8217;t be more timely for the fear-laden world we live in. This is my first exposure to Kirk&#8217;s work, and rest assured, I&#8217;ll be seeking out more of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cRing of Fire\u201d by Richard Thomas&#8212;which tackles \u201clust\u201d&#8212;is by far my favorite story in this collection and, in my opinion, the most skillfully rendered. First of all, like all the other stories, Thomas doesn&#8217;t give us a clich\u00e9d horror story about someone&#8217;s sexual urges leading them to a grisly death. However, this is Richard Thomas we&#8217;re talking about. I knew he wouldn&#8217;t lean on cliches going in. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead, he tackles the intersection of loneliness, guilt, shame, grief, the desire for companionship, and, yes&#8212;sexuality. But sexuality through the lens of longing for companionship, for physical comfort and belonging, for intimate connection. I&#8217;m not going to say anything else about this story, except that lots of folks claim to write \u201cscience fiction\/horror\u201d blends, but few get it right. Thomas gets it extremely right in this. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As another side-note: several years ago I read an excellent science fiction anthology edited by late great Alan Ryan called <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Perpetual-light-Alan-Ryan\/dp\/B00005WLQO\/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=Perpetual+Light,+by+Alan+Ryan&amp;qid=1560268487&amp;s=books&amp;sr=1-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perpetual Light<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The collection&#8217;s focus was speculative fiction stories dealing with faith, spirituality, religion, divinity, and other elements of belief. \u201cRing of Fire\u201d felt like it would&#8217;ve fit right into this collection, and, considering the names in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perpetual&#8217;s<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> TOC, that&#8217;s a compliment in itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally is John F. D. Taff&#8217;s take on \u201cgluttony,\u201d \u201cAll You Care to Eat.\u201d Lisa&#8212;an overweight woman tired of fighting her desire to eat, tired of her family&#8217;s well-intention interventions&#8212;makes one last desperate attempt to lose weight, visiting a doctor recommended to her by her equally desperate mother. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of the expected admonitions against over-eating and the advice about physical exercise and \u00a0diet she expects, however, she receives the odd instruction to eat as much of her favorite food that she wants. Amazingly enough&#8230;she loses weight. And then, her doctor gives her even stranger advice: the key to losing all the weight she wants is to \u201ceat what you love.\u201d Not <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">food<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that she loves. But <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">what<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> she loves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Literally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I don&#8217;t need to go any further. You can read for yourself what helps Lisa lose the weight she desires. Once again, this story provides us a different twist on \u201cgluttony.\u201d In a clumsy rendering, you would expect a character to suffer terribly because of their physical appetites, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Se7en<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> style, in a clich\u00e9d story about overeating. Instead, Taft offers us a weird, bizarre rumination about a strange desire to consume the things we love the most. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Again, all the stories in this collection where well-written. These were just the ones which spoke to me the most. Highly recommended reading.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Seven Deadliest edited by Patrick Beltran and D.
