An interesting collection of fiction, ranging in style and running the gamut in terms of brutality and creepiness.

What's better than reading a book? Knowing that purchase helps charity. Yeah, that makes a book even better. I loved the intro about the charities. There is at least one story (if not more) for every horror reader. I enjoyed each story, but 3 of them I extra special enjoyed.

I loved this collection of short stories! Each and every one had something unique to offer. They were all engaging and well written and an absolute pleasure to read- even if they were horrifying. A little bit of Psycho, a little bit of Lovecraft. All around a great group of authors!

There are some heavy hitters in this line up of authors, each with their own different writing styles and feels, and if you are not familiar with them this would be an excellent introduction to them.
Like most anthologies, some I loved, others not so much, but overall there is an excellent variety of horror types, from clowns to serial killers, monsters, and even a bit of cosmic horror, some of these stories will make you laugh, others will scare you, and others will make you cry.
I particularly loved these stories;
First Date by Jeff Strand about a serial killer’s first date
Pictures of a Princess by Kristopher Triana, about a father’s obsession with a factional princess.
Every Breath is a Choice by Max Booth III, is about having to choose who lives and who dies.
The End of Time on Rosewyld Lane by Jay Wilburn is the heart-breaking story of never knowing what happens to a missing child.
I want to thank S.C. Mendes and Bloodbound Books for the opportunity to read a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
