A solid, solid collection

Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2020

Verified Purchase

Typically, when you have a collection like this, featuring multiple authors, there is going to be at least one who stands out above the rest or one who really lacks in comparison to the others. But in this collection, all three authors are outstanding. Each brings a unique voice which stands its own against the other. I have read previous works from all three authors and I feel these stories are a step above anything any of them have put out before. While certainly entertaining, reading this collection was more of an experience for me. It's difficult to explain that, but perhaps once you read it, you will understand where I am coming from. Personal favorites include: Into the Light, Baptized by Lethe, and Blame Jonathan Swift. I highly recommend this collection to anyone who enjoys horror, thriller, psychological, and a bit of bizarro.

Amazing collection of short stories from three brillant authors!

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2021

Verified Purchase

So much to say about this amazing collection of stories by three talented writers. Each author wrote three stories for this volume, in which they excel at horrifying, terrifying, and astonishing the reader. The collection centers around three specific prompts, Cabin Fever, Letters, and Chaos.
Let’s start with Ennenbach, the poet, his verses are unparalleled and his every word oozes with raw emotion and intention. Nothing is left to chance with this author, not a bit of filler to be found within any of his pages as he draws you in to his tales of woe and horror.
In his first story, “Fifty Words For Writer’s Block-A Decline”, he brings you inside the mind of a poet. A poet who considers his success a fluke, once a poetic genius, he is now brought to his poetic knees by a strange request from a reporter. A poet who once could write about anything, at any time, suddenly cannot write a single word. He seeks out solitude and isolation to write his next collection of poems, which must include the poem for the reporter that only needs to start out with a specific line. The tale pulls no punches as it details the decline of the poet and his once prolific talent.
The second tale, “Baptized by Lethe” details the life of a young co-ed as she settles into college life, feeling far too isolated and alone than she should. Ennenbach quickly brings her emotions into play as the lonely girl struggles with her feelings and with making new friends. Weird letters begin to appear, and her mental state begins to drift as dreams and strange occurrences take over much of her life. This story is beautifully written and becomes a story within a story as it takes you on a lonely journey.
Ennenbach’s third tale is an all-out horrifying tale titled “The Incident at Barrow Farm”. This story hits shockingly close to home and achieves much of the horror by the reader simply realizing how realistic it truly is, how possible it is. The horror contained within the tale itself is just a bonus. I loved every word of this story as it plays out at the Barrow Farm, as the small-town police try to deal with the reality of multiple murders within the confines of their small town along with other atrocities that the reader will never see coming. The details and the emotional toll this story packs will leave you breathless and wishing for more. If you happen to know these writers, you will love this story for other reasons. I will leave you to discover those reasons for yourself.
Moving on to author Patrick C. Harrison, III or PC3, as he is listed in the book, I have nothing but admiration for his story telling skills. His stories are well-written, original, entertaining and downright twisted. His first tale in the book, “Insides Out” draws you in with a gruesome scene laid out all around the house of the main character in the book. The tragic tale sucks you in as he describes what occurred on that horrible Thanksgiving Day and the days after. The gruesome account of the tragic day hits you like a gut punch as you slowly begin to visualize and understand the horrible scene being painted for you. I loved everything about this sick, and twisted, Thanksgiving tale. I thought it was brilliantly written.
Harrison’s next story “Blame Jonathan Swift” was a swift descent into hell paved by a road with good intentions. By the time I realized what was happening, I was hooked and beyond amused. The horror was real, the writing beautifully done, and the rambling confession of the poor mis-guided soul in the story was as believable as Poe’s earnest madman in the “The Tell-Tale Heart”. I loved everything about this story, from beginning to end. You will not see the end coming, which is how brilliant horror is to be written. Harrison delivers an epic punch to the gut with this one.
The final story penned by Harrison is called “Taking The Loop”. I hate giving away too much of any story and this one is so well done that all I want to say is kudo’s to Harrison. You will need to read this for yourself, dear reader, from beginning to end and then probably one more time. This was a terrifying story, full of blood, gore, fear, anxiety and anguish. I don’t know what rabbit hole Harrison was down when he wrote this, but it’s one hell of a ride.
The final author, Chris Miller, is every bit as talented as the other two authors in this book. His stories shine with his own unique style and are well-written and deliberate. He sets the tone beautifully in just a few sentences before leading you into a story that will leave you breathless with fear and wanting more. His first story in the collection spoke directly to the doomsday prepper hidden deep within my heart. “Into the Light” details the sad state of affairs of a family that has been living in an underground bunker for the last ten years. The father insists on keeping his family safe inside the bunker for as long as he can, telling them repeatedly that the surface is not safe. The son begins to rebel against the father, hoping to prove to his family that everything is okay. I felt this one in my soul, their despair and anguish. The constant tension that they exist in, their need to survive and endure. Read this with the lights on.
Miller offers up a second tale with “The Final Correspondence of Thomas Baker Wolfe”. In this tale, I was transported back in time to Victorian times. This story reminded me of the dark gothic style stories I used to read, and Miller may very well have been channeling Lovecraft with the cosmic horror contained in this story. It drips with horror and madness and will leave you quite chilled and awestruck by the time you finish. The descriptions alone of the tragedy that befell Thomas Baker Wolfe will paint such images inside your brain that they will be seared there for quite some time. Nothing more to say on this except bravo! This was a favorite of mine in the collection.
In the final tale, “Day 69”, Miller delivers a kick straight to the head with his terrifying tale of a mundane trip to the grocery store right in the middle of the Covid-19 quarantine and panic. This will leave you uncomfortable and writhing in your chair from the realism. I was in awe of how realistic the images were, how the entire scenario went down and how utterly spot-on the highly emotional situation played out. Everyone will relate to this story on a very personal level and the horror is undeniably real.
This is a great collection to own, to read and to gift. I loved every word of it, and I look forward to reading much more from each one of these authors.

Hands down one of the best multi-author anthologies of last year. There's so much to love about this one that I won't even try to pigeonhole any piece or writer. Each writer excels at his style, each story is visceral and violent or beautifully heartbreaking. These guys have it going on and I look forward to reading more from each of them.
You really should do yourself a favor and see why Cerberus is getting all the love. The intro by Christine Morgan is one of the best forewords ever.

I discovered all of these authors through the Splatter Western series. The stories in this book are so good that I immediately bought more stuff from all three of the authors. This book will not disappoint. Not a single bad story.

Powerful, Impactful, and mind-violating

Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2020

Cerberus Rising is a powerful, impactful, mind-violating collection of nine novelettes from Patrick C Harrison III (PC3), Chris Miller, and M Ennenbach—the author trio known as Cerberus.

First, I must say you want to read the Forward by Christine Morgan. I’m serious. Read it. You’re welcome.

For Cerberus Rising, the authors chose 3 prompts. Each prompt is a section. Each section has a corresponding poem and a novelette from each author from that prompt. The outcome of this process is remarkable.

The first section is Cabin Fever, and the first story of Cabin Fever is “Insides Out” by PC3. This is an absolutely enthralling story told in first person. It is both terrifying and evocative, crafted like fine art to rip out a bit of your soul along with your stomach. This story is followed by the sci-fi-esque horror thriller “Into the Light” by Miller and the bizarre and disturbing “Fifty Words for Writer’s Block—A Decline” by Ennenbach.

The second section is Letters. The first story in that section is a riveting Lovecraftian tale by Miller titled “The Final Correspondence of Thomas Baker Wolfe.” This story rivals anything by Lovecraft himself in flow, depth, vividness, and captivating theme. Miller has managed to outdo himself with this one. Following that is the deep, haunting, socially mirroring story “Baptized by Lethe” by Ennenbach. And after that is the completely irreverent satire about satire “Blame Jonathan Swift” by PC3—check your boundaries at the title page because this story has none and it doesn’t recognize yours.

The third and final section is Chaos, and the first story of that section is “The Incident at Barrow Farm” by Ennenbach. This is a big story in a little novelette, relentlessly horrifying, it will take your mind right down into the thick of the chaos and make you exclaim out loud. That story is followed by the bizarro horror “Taking the Loop” by PC3. And the final story of the section and collection is the soul crushing, all-too-realistic “Day 69” by Miller.

I could write a book on this book. I am finding it exceedingly difficult not to wax philosophical on the horrors and terrors and social reflections in these stories. I could go on and on about the incredible wordsmithing, the vivid sequences, the moving characters, the nightmares it has given me …

But I will say I look forward to more collaboration from these authors. And I will say that despite the a few of these stories causing my Kindle to take flight … from my hands … across the bed … you should read this. It is not just a book, it’s a psychological experience. I will be getting a paperback of this shelf-worthy collection.
