slowly catching up with all my anthologies but i loved how spooky and creepy this one was. the stories are all over so it was nice to read an anthology that didn’t feel so similar.

“lights” by kalynn bayron, “all my best friends are dead” by liselle sambury, and “no harm done” by circe moskowitz in particular were the ones i liked the most.

it's an anthology, so parts were hit and miss for me, but overall a strong collection that gave me a bunch of new authors to check out!

These are horror stories with depth and bits of social commentary weaved in. Internal and external darkness is used as a common underlying theme. I usually can’t get into anthologies, but I thoroughly enjoyed the short stories

→ An intruder meets their match in the dark. An immortal exploited by the church. A spiritual doppelganger. A twisted tooth fairy scheme. An anniversary story with a Frankenstein twist. A girl inherits a ‘haunted’ house (WTF). A clairvoyant battling time and fate. A girl cursed by the Devil. A patriarch terrorizes his family via dolls. A meetup between two long lost twins is disturbed by a zombie outbreak.
