My Review

I’m a fan of the short story and collections. Had this on my Kindle for a while and thought now is the perfect time to read it. Halloween is only days away and I’m ready for something scary.

Right off I spotted some familiar authors. And I also discovered some news I’ll be checking out after sampling their writing here.

From demons to sasquatch, tigers to devil dogs, and all things scary and deadly that dwell in these pages, this collection has a lot to offer. Not going to play favorites. But, some of these stood out more than others. I’m giving it a high rating as there were many 4 and 5 star reads.

Before I started writing reviews I didn’t appreciate how hard it must be to write a good short story. Writing a review for one is difficult enough. Trying not to provide spoilers is a challenge. There’s a lot of talent in this collection. And with so many different beings and creatures to choose from, I’m sure fans of horror will find something they like.

  1. I find I do much better at holiday reading if I have a collection of short stories. ?

  2. Sounds like a great collection, I love monster reads.

    • fuonlyknew says:

      There’s all kinds of them prowling in these pages. Some were great, some okay, and a few duds. I still appreciate any author tackling the short story

  3. Love the cover! I don’t really read anthologies anymore but if I did this would be more to my tastes!

  4. Love that cover and monsters.
