artean's review against another edition

5.0

I struggled with collections. Mostly because their is no hook to keep me wanting to read on. That being said I do love my horror. This is a great collection for fans of horror and otherworldly oddities. Would highly recommend a read.

5.0

I ordered this book, because it was a charity-driven piece that included a short story by Neil Gaiman. Yes, this is a ridiculous reason to buy a book, but so is picking one based on the cover. However, I more than lucked out with these stories. I don't usually read horror. Gore and fantastical creatures are truly meh in my literary choices, but I wanted to read Dark Tides and to get a taste of what horror stories can be.

Totally worth it.

While not every story was a tale that I loved, each was written in a style that kept me hooked and reading. The variety of stories and styles were a complete win to this new-to-horror reader. A well-organized sampler platter for the genre. The stories were engaging and enjoyable to the point that I have already downloaded several horror novels to my Kindle. To me, this says a lot about Dark Tides. When a reader doesn't usually enjoy the genre, but they still don't want to put the book down, it's a great book. That's what Dark Tides was for me. I truly enjoyed every short story and I'm already annoying friends with suggesting they read it.
