Lingering Things and Other Dark Tales: A Horror Anthology by Dana Noraas

This was basically Scary Stories To Tell in the Dark for adults, down to the creepy illustrations that steal the show. Like with most short story collections, there were one or two stand-outs and the rest "eh".

This book seriously was like a grown up version of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, complete with spooky illustrations accompanying each tale. My favorite stories had to have been The Lonely and the namesake, Lingering Things. I really don’t want to give away the stories, but just know that they will haunt you well after you put the book down. They are written in such a way that they seem so believable yet so unbelievable at the same time. Also, can I just say that any horror that involves kids always creeps me out just a little more....

I think you should pick up a copy of this book, and get ready for a quick, but satisfyingly eerie read.

I received this book from the author Dana Noraas after winning a giveaway on her IG page. I was super stoked that after I couldn’t get the e book she sent me a signed copy. ( @dbhorrorwriter )

This book was really well written. There were a lot of themes touched on here that made me very uncomfortable, but in a really scary/spooky way. I found the writing was equatable to old school campfire scary stories. I really liked Lingering Things and Apex. I read this book at our family cabin and now I’m afraid to sleep.


This book is absolutely not for everyone. But if you love horror stories, and things that make you squirm then definitely pick up a copy of this book
