I enjoy reading anthologies, and these stories sound quite ingenious, but they have a bit too much horror for my taste. Thank you for your excellent review and introduction to these tales, and congrats on BOTD.

What a crazy unique book. To say this is weird is an understatement haha. Interested to see how this blend of sci-fi, horror and humor reads. Congratulations on book of the day!

Of all these six sci-fi stories, Terror Pericolosa seems to match my taste for reading sci-fi with a blend of horror, and this story offers a glimpse of an unknown planet.

I like short stories and science fiction tales but I don't enjoy reading horror. Great review.

I am not a fan of the horror genre, especially when it includes grotesque elements and violence. But after reading the sample and the book review, it seems like a terrific book for those that love horror and science fiction.

I love reading books like this. A science fiction horror story is a great combination and the author delivered it perfectly well. This is an incredibly written book that I believe anyone who has a penchant for horror stories would enjoy.

I enjoy books whose authors have a way with words, artistic enough to indulge my emotions in their descriptions of acts or scenes. Thanks for the review.

Fantasy, horror and sci-fi!!!! This is right up my alley. I was already hooked with the sample I've read but after this review I'm even more intrigued. It sounds like the author knows exactly how to keep you on the edge of your seat. Thanks for a detailed review.

These short science fiction stories seem very enjoyable to read. Disarrhoea seems like a decease derived from diarrhoea. I'm curious what its symptoms are.
Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen

I'm not sure I want to know what the 'horrific difference' is in "Eat Your Neighbor," but I am curious about this book.

An anthology of six sci-fi horror stories is nicely presented in the book "Disarrhoea" by Kevin Vodden. The stories such as a disorienting airborne pathogen resulting breakdown of society makes it intriguing read.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

Congratulations, BOTD.

Thank you for your great review and for explaining what the book was like. I did enjoy the author's writing while reading part of the first story in the sample. I didn't realize it also contained horror. I'm not a fan of science fiction or horror, so I will pass on this one. I'm sure there are many others who will like it as you did.
