Eerie River do it again!
We've tackled horrors from the forest in two different volumes, so now Eerie River and its army of intrepid authors deliver a package of monstrosities from the Sky in their best anthology yet.
From demons and spreadsheets in V.A. Vazquez's Tenure, to second world-war terrors in Tim Mendees' On A Wing And A Prayer, It Calls From The Sky has it all, including sci-fi invasions of Australia in Chris Hewitt's Thorn In My Side and a compelling and strong written tale in McKenzie Richardson's The Day The Angels Fell. The anthology ends strong, closing with the thrilling entries "The Winged Plague" by E. L. Giles and "Rainfall" by Marie McWilliams, a writer I hadn't read before but will look for in the future - a vivid story that made me read it a second time as soon as I'd finished my first run through.
The editing team has compiled an anthology that moves at a wonderful pace, with a pleasing variety of stories. No two tread the same ground. Favourites will be down to personal taste, but I think this is an excellent entry into the "It Calls" series.

A bunch of OK horror stories with a few good gems. I prefer the first two collections in this series more.
