LaRocca understands that horror rooted in reality is far scarier than any ghost or ghoul. It is real; illness, whether physical or mental, is something we will all deal with at some point in our lives. He uses his stories to show us exactly what we will have to deal with and how unpleasant and horrifying it can be. I do not say this lightly, the stories within this short collection, and at 208 pages, and eight stories, it is short, are like the cancer LaRocca mentions throughout. They are real, horrific and once they have affected you, you will never be the same again.
