“I’m blown away…”—Coy Hall, author of The Hangman Feeds

Join Sarah Jane Huntington for a “brilliant” and “exciting” tour of the horror, science fiction, and dark fantasy genres from Victorian England to Japan to the depths of space and beyond.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Only Deep Space in All its Fatal and Alluring Beauty
    Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2022

    My first read by Sarah Jane Huntington was her novel Cabin Terror, so this is my first experience with her short story work. I’m blown away by the variety of genres and voices in the collection. From science-fiction to crime to horror, Huntington takes you by the hand and leads you from site to sight, site to sight, site to sight. Her ability to craft worlds opens vistas, and the ability to move through genres reminds me of the best short story writers of the 1930s and 1940s. Her penchant for humor, for creating characters with quick slashes, for delivering a punch to the gut, for slitting open the mind and allowing us to see the mirror inside, reminds me of the great Robert Bloch and his early stories in Weird Tales.

    There are nine stories in Waves of Mutilation, and all of them are robust with vivid settings and realistic characters. This is not a collection of flash fiction. All the tales are fully developed and engrossing.

    I think anyone reading this collection will have a different favorite—the quality is high enough throughout to warrant it—but I was most impressed by the science-fiction story that opens the book: “No Stars Inside Dark Hearts.” Here we follow Alice Ramirez and the crew of The Asimov to the parameters (and barriers) of our solar system. This story demonstrates Huntington’s growth in craft as well as her growth as a social commentator.

    “Only deep space in all its fatal and alluring beauty,” Huntington writes. If this book were a coat of arms, such words would be emblazoned as the heraldic motto.

    What an absolutely delightful find. I love short stories and expected a quick read and maybe a spooky twist or two. However, the stories found here were more than I could hope for and had a bit of everything. If you want to unplug abit and get totally lost in other worlds, I highly recommend this book. I can't wait to read more from Sarah Jane Huntington!!!!

    This is one of the best "horror" short story collections that I have ever read. I say "horror", because not everything mysterious and dark is necessarily "horror". The stories are interesting and kept me captivated. Even ones that had been "done" before seemed fresh and interesting. I highly recommend this book. And oh, if you don't at least shed one tear at the last story, you are not human.

    This is my favorite book so far of 2023, and one of the best collections I have ever read. I loved all the stories, but my favorites were "One Sunny Day," "Very Bad Things," and "Twilight." If you haven't read Huntington, WAVES OF MUTILATION would be an excellent place to start. This one gets all the stars from me.

    I love good thrilling stories and Waves of Mutilation delivered! Sarah was able to suck me in within the first few sentences of the book. Each story is very unique with smooth plots and engaging characters. Cat Meat Woman is my favorite. I loved the heartfelt introduction and story notes too! Highly recommend to any fan of sci-fi, fantasy and horror.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Sarah Jane Huntington is one of the top short fiction writers today.
    Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2022
    I made a big life decision today. I am going to be a cat meat man and buy a car that needs some fixing up. The only way I can achieve this is to go speak to some Fae in the woods behind my home. Thanks a lot, Sarah Jane, I already kind of had a pretty decent life path but now your magical book has changed it. The only thing I’m really worried about is all of these giant tree roots out here and this woman asking me all of these questions to see if I qualify for a journey into the Earth. My life story aside, she’s done it again. Another great collection from one of my favorite writers today. This is a collection filled with some stories that will make you cringe, some that will make you look behold you, and what would a Sarah Jane Huntington collection be without a story that makes you cry a little? I also want to mention this collection feels like a journey, each story is set in a vastly different setting, time period, and genre; yet none of it feels jarring or awkward. I would put this at the top of the list for where to start reading Sarah’s work as this collection showcases what she does best in short fiction form. Looking forward to the next! K thx.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic collection
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 22, 2022

    This collection of short stories shows of Huntington's versatility and skill as a writer. From crime to sci-fi, through to contemporary horror there really is something for everyone. One thing that binds all of this collection together is the nagging dread that always lurks in this author's work. You always feel that something is going to go terribly wrong and it becomes a really addictive quality. Both sci-fi works "The Discarded Ones" and "No Stars Inside Dark Hearts" are high points as Huntington's passion for the genre shines through and melds perfectly with horror leanings. My personal favourites are "Under The Earth" , "One Sunny Day" , and "Aokigahara" the latter feeling like a Japanese Blair Witch Project on steroids! Most stories have strong messages and all act as cautionary tales. Truly excellent stuff from this exciting writer.

    I had the pleasure of reading an ARC of this new collection, and writing a blurb. I’m very happy I’ve been able to blurb such a great book!

    Sarah Jane Huntington is definitely one of my favourite writers. Her work just gets better and better, and I’m always excited to see her unleash something new on the world.

    As I said in my blurb, this is a brilliant collection of horrors, that includes tales from Victorian England, the spooky forests of Japan, and the depths of space. I thoroughly recommend folk check this book out. It’s just fantastic stuff.
    Also, all proceeds will be going to charity. How bloody wonderful is that?

    Go get a copy, support a worthy charity and an excellent author.
