neon_capricorn's review against another edition
3.0
There were a few stories that I liked a lot; a few that I did not like at all; but most of the stories collected here were just okay.

I've read a good few of the stories in this book, some drag, some are too sort, some are great though, so simply a mixed bag. the one with the woman going back to her home town being my favourite so far.
I would definitely pick this up if you love horror and story collections from different authors. Also all the money from the book goes to charity.

Great start to my October reading.
The following stories particularly scratched my spooky itch:
Crowthorne, The Salt Hag, Screen Eight, The Drifter, The Night Watchman, Fading Applause in Quintland and, At the End of the Rope.

I watch the Youtube channels of several of the authors in this anthology. The stories are a lot of fun and, since it's for charity, I think it deserves a 5-star rating.
If you're looking for an interesting collection of horror stories from a bunch of entertaining up and coming writers and Youtube creators, then this is a collection for you!

As I am in this fine little collection, it’s odd to give a review ~ but I do talk about it on my YouTube series. Fitting, as it is a collaboration among booktube hosts. Enjoyable, creepy, haunting; as it ought to be!

An excellent collection of stories from authors around the world, each one inspired by a 'local haunt'. I really like the concept for this anthology which made for a great variety of styles and themes, and there are definitely some talented writers here. While there were some stories I didn't enjoy as much as others overall it was a really enjoyable read! There were two stories in particular that stood out to me as my favourites:
Crowthorne by Andrew Lyall
Mount Gilead by R. Saint Claire
I loved both of these stories. Excellently written, atmospheric, evocative and compelling.

a stones throw by dane cobain ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
- i loved the gothic feel of this one! can’t beat a creepy ghost story.
the gentleman by ryan stroud ⭐️⭐️⭐️
- this is an excellent start to a story, but i’d love for it to be more fleshed out
the salt hag by cj wright ⭐️⭐️⭐️
- kind of weird comment about a woman’s looks in this one
