Rated by buyers -
I really liked the cult feel of this collection. Hack /Slash, as a title, is especially good when it remembers to stay within its core concept Cassie Hack as hunter of B-movie-style serial killers (like "Dexter", I suppose).
A few of the stories - "Girls Gone Dead", "Slice Hard" and the collection of "Trailers" - were great. Campy fun with the genre. Tim Seeley uses his impressive knowledge of B-movie conventions and gives them new twists. The results are fun, silly, bloody and entertaining.
Unfortunately, Seeley strays from the core concept too often. His attempts to add more depth (especially in the egregious "Evil Ernie" cross-over) just come across as lurid and patronizing. Cassie Hack turns from movie heroine to fan-boy exploitation.
At its rare best, Hack/Slash is "Scream", but the rest of the time, it felt like one of the inferior sequels
