Solid eco-horror anthology. It was really cool to see every writer’s different take on the sub-genre.

I finally got around to reading this anthology. While it was good, it was nothing extraordinary, nor was it quite what I was expecting. There were several stories that I did enjoy immensely. Outside of that everything else was just alright. I wasn't a big fan of most of the poems, but I am picky when it comes to poetry.
All the stories were well written even if not all of them I liked.
Not a bad read but probably not something I would read again anytime soon.

A final note: That cover is amazing! I'm in love with the artwork and the font used for the title.

This anthology would have benefited from a strong editor.

This was pure bloody gold. What an engaging, thought-provoking and entertaining collection of short stories and poetry!! A. R. Ward has done it again. I feel like anytime I see her name on something, I just assume it's going to be good.

I LOVED this. I couldn't even pick a handful of stories to list as my favourites because I genuinely loved all of them. I thought they were creepy and unnerving without being over the top, and that they had an important message without being too preachy. A fine line to walk, but the authors did it so well in this collection.

Highly recommend!
