This book seems perfect for readers interested in sci-fi and horror books. I like the storyline of the airborne pathogen, but there are six stories in total. Great review.

This sci-fi fiction novel contains six stories that are filled with a clear but horror filled storyline. The author describes with specific details the world of each story as its written in a different world. My favorite aspect of this book is the world building and futuristic aspects of each short story. Congrats on the BOTD!

I’m not a fan of horror and sci-fi so I think I’ll skip this. Thank you for your review!

I enjoy the idea of multiple short tales that each have their own subject matter and writing style. I am excited to give this book a try based on your review!

This anthology is an entertaining thrill ride for any fan of science fiction or horror, blending the two seamlessly. Disarrhoea has six sci-fi horror stories by Kevin Vodden. Thr book is a must read.
The review is great.
Congratulations on Botd 🎉

"Disarrhoea" reminds me of the beginning of "Covid 19". The review explains well about the content of the book. Amazing review. Thanks!. Those who like reading sci-fiction or horror books would enjoy this book.

I love the sound of these science fiction and fantasy short stories. It sounds like they have more than a hint of horror and an ample infusion of macabre. Now on my books-to-read shelf. Many thanks for the great review!

The review was a bit vague. I enjoyed the sample of this book though it was very thrilling.

I really enjoyed this review, written by a connaisseur. Though sci- fi is not my cup of tea, the first short story was magnificent. The author' s style is easy flowing.

Out of all the science fiction- fantasy short stories here by Kevin Vodden, I think I would like to check out Disarrhoea more. Looking forward to reading it. Great review.

The one small complaint I have is that, from a sales standpoint, consumers today appear to favor shorter paragraphs than some of those in this book, purely for perceived readability. Disarrhoea's idea reminds me a lot of our experience during COVID, which is terrifying in my opinion. Nice review!

This was not quite what I expected when I first saw the cover illustration, though after reading the sample I can understand the inspiration for it. Apart from feeling like dejavu, the first story disarrhoea made me chuckle, it felt typically British. What would one do when faced with a disaster but grab tea and biscuits (cookies)? The thought of reading "The Matryoshka Loop" - about gigantic wasps is not appealing. Thanks for a good review on this book.
