The many authors of these short stories have given a plethora of different scenarios, touching on so many varied fears. I tried only reading it during the time it's made for (see the forward and title for hints and hilarity). That did not last long. My brain welcomed each new morsel and I wound up reading the entire book in a day! Some stories were geared toward phobias, some were more thriller styled, and some were just plain odd, but for me, most were entertaining and some held those little twists that I crave when I'm reading horror. I'm gonna say my faves were Last Ride by Madison Estes, Keepsakes by Alyssa N. Vaughn, and Visceral by Jared Baker. But do not skip the others. Enjoy this book as it's intended, if you can. The book won't let you forget to wash your hands...

I will be completely honest...I almost declined reading this book. I'm ashamed to admit, I totally judged a book by its title. But I'm glad I changed my mind & gave it a chance. The 32 short stories in this anthology are well written & quite a few are scary as hell.
The premise of the book is each story is just long enough for your daily trip to the bathroom & each story has a reminder at the end to make sure you wash your hands. Although I am not sure I'd really recommend reading this in the bathroom, as I kept reading to the point that my legs probably would have gone numb. I enjoyed almost every story, but there were a few stand out stories that actually gave me nightmares... which is kind of difficult to do.
My top 3 stories:
1. The Itch by Mark Towse
2. Reclaimed by DJ Tyler
3. Crow by Ian Bain
I really want to give a description of each of these stories, but I feel like it would totally ruin the stories if I did. I'll just say they are totally nightmare fuel.
