About this listen
Beautiful Atrocities collects 18 stories of literary dark fiction from the Bram Stoker Award-nominated author Ross Jeffery, who terrified us with the sensational Juniper series. These chilling stories run the gamut of modern horror and will leave the listener entertained, breathless, and horrified in equal measure but still wanting to hear more.
This is a masterful debut collection from one of horror's bright shining lights.

Critic reviews
"Even though most of the stories contained in this collection deal with cruelty in some form, one must not forget the importance of the word 'beauty' when coupled with the word 'cruelty'. Ross executes these moments of barbarity, of viciousness, of unbridled depravity with the tenderness and care of an accomplished surgeon. Of course, this unique coupling of 'beauty' and 'cruelty' conjures the likes of writers who have dabbled in the area before with uncompromising skill and verve. I think of authors such as Clive Barker or Michael McDowell—veterans of the grotesquely beautiful horror, writers who conjured the most horrific and unsettling images and rendered them as things of beauty." (Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke)

A truly haunting collection
Now I have been a fan of Ross Jeffery ever since I read Juniper and Tome (Both on audio book, worth checking out too!), so reading Beautiful Atrocities was a no-brainer.
Beautiful Atrocities a collection with haunting short stories that will stay with you long after you have read them.
Jeffery's prose paints these horrors in vivid colours. The stories are filled personal terrors, grief stricken horrors, vengeance filled tales and tormenting wails .
It is hard to pick a favorite. The really stand out stories for me are:
- One Piece Remains.
- The Collector of Ruined Things.
- Hail Maud, Full of Grace.
- Casualties of War
- Cat Box
- Heads That Could Shatter Glass
- The Yellow Man and His Insatiable Hunger
- Two Beasts, One Master
OK, that is most of the stories in this collection... the point is that Beautiful Atrocities is a testament to Ross Jefferys talent as a writer.
So go get this one!
as for the narration, Ritchie Berrie delivers a solid performance, Easy five stars!
