First of all, it took me a bit longer to get through this book of horror short stories. Why? Well, three of the stories had spiders in them. I'm highly arachnophobic, so each time I finished one of those stories, I needed a break.
This book has 31 short stories, and the authors really cover a lot of ground in the horror genre. We've got everything from aliens to body horror, monsters to revenge of the 'special kind'.
I liked almost all of them. Only two stories didn't quite hit the mark for me, scoring a 5.2/10 and 6.8/10 respectively. But about 95% of the stories were in the 8s and 9s, with my top pick scoring a 9.6/10.
Some of my favorites were 'INCIDENT ON THE ROAD', 'PURPLE BLOOM', 'THE CADENCE OF DECAY', 'OPENING DAY' & 'J-78'… just to name a few.
If you're into the gory and gross side of horror, you're gonna love this book. I guess, I will read this again in Autumn, one story for each day of October.
I'm giving the collection a 4.2 Rating.
Oh and just a heads up, here are some trigger warnings: pet deaths, spiders, and 'crawling things'.
