Graveyard Smash: Women of Horror Anthology, Volume 2 by Jill Girardi

4.0

Graveyard Smash is such a fitting title as The Women of Horror knock it out of the graveyard again with this second anthology. You have a huge variety of stories in which to drink your fill. Very odd stories like a woman who is afraid of holes to malevolent spirits trying to get payback to someone in the living world. New, creative, and original takes that run the gambit from vampires to ghosts and Djinn (and his wishes) to age-old spirits (and their curses). Gripping tales like a grave-robbing gone horribly wrong and those ghosts trying to right that remaining wrong before crossing over. All hell breaks loose in a bar called Hades, a story that takes place in a graveyard, (and in reading that story, I’ll never look at a graveyard the same way again), and an eerie tale of a clockmaker who is asked to make a pocket watch with some very odd materials. Cringeworthy and simply horrific tales that are the best in every way. Thank you again, Women of Horror for these dark stories of the macabre. My hat is off to you.
