I don't read a lot of anthologies, but I'm so glad I read this one! Each piece reflects the theme "Light Dawns in Darkness" in its own unique way. The whole collection is well-written and intriguing, and it flowed smoothly from piece to piece. I would definitely recommend this anthology, and I suggest reading it around Halloween as it has plenty of creepy tales to enjoy!
My personal favorites were Nightfall by D.A. Randall, The Headless Henwoman by Kristiana Sfirlea, and The Night Walkers by Emily Barnett.
Content: clean!

Loved how this was labeled dark but left me feeling hopeful. Many of the stories made me laugh, smile, shiver, and feel. I am not generally a poetry person but the poems were all amazing too. Definitely a great introduction to a lot of new to me authors.

This anthology is full of ghosts, monsters, and mysterious haunts. You'll find a trickster god's softer side, a basket-carriage pulled by headless chickens, and a sci fi prodigal son. There is a variety of stories and poems in this collection, ranging from serious to more light-hearted.
My favourite short stories and poems are from Part Two, which includes the more humorous tales.
These tales may begin in the darkness, but they're really about what darkness fears - the light. Some pieces explicitly highlight faith, and the hope and light than can be found in faith.
