 Exploring Dark Short Fiction

Edited by Eric J. Guignard

.

Genre: Horror / Short Stories

MY REVIEW

There are six short stories in this collection. The Primer is authored by Steve Rasnic Tem and then analyzed by Michael Arzen. There’s also an interview that explores why he wrote these and how.

I’m huge on group dynamics and strong character drive stories and all of these were great for very different reasons. The wicked cover art and excellent illustrations for each story are the icing on the cake for what waits between these pages. I’m not one to name favorites and it would be hard for me to do that when they’re all so good.

I have the next Primer to read and I’m excited to dig into more quality writing of horror and the bizarre that Steve has cooked up.
