A good example of the type of freakishness that occasionally emerges from the pen of an otherwise mild-mannered author. The author in question is the prolific fantasy and children’s book scribe Nancy Springer, who here spins an unexpectedly bleak and disquieting account of freaks, mutilation and madness that occupies the same territory as FREAKS and GEEK LOVE.
BLEED FOR YOU is a 128-page novella by Michael Louis Calvillo (of the novels I WILL RISE and AS FATE WOULD HAVE IT and the collection BLOOD & GRISTLE), who was in a mean mood this time around. BLEED FOR YOU may lack the maturity and intelligence of Calvillo’s other works, but as a straightforward exercise in nastiness and perversity it more than succeeds. It’s also a fast and easy read.
