Man Made Monsters

On the surface Man-Made Monsters by Mad Marv is a terrifying collection of short stories with a horror/conspiracy theme. It has all of the elements fans of the genre would expect: blood, guts, and utter mayhem. It’s funny at times and positively frightening at others. One thing that separates this book from the herd is the sense that the words on the page are real. The reader is given an exclusive view of sickening events that seem like they’ve really happened. As the stories unfold, the eerie feeling builds into full-blown fear. The title says it all. The five main stories have a common thread: Monsters are real and they are created by man’s hand. Science and technology running amok have negative consequences. In Mad Marv’s world, genetically engineered beasts stalk the city streets, remote-controlled zombie armies threaten to devour, and super-viral strains turn people into disfigured bloodsuckers. Men can be brought back from the grave and women can be programmed to kill. The unsettling part of all this is that Mad Marv’s world is ours, too.
