Classic Monsters Unleashed by James Aquilone
4.0
I love the old classic horror stories, Dracula, Frankenstein, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the Headless Horseman, the Invisible Man, I loved them all.
So this Anthology was an easy choice for me, but as with a lot of anthology's, this was a mixed bag, some of the stories I loved, like Höllenlegion by Jonathan Maberry – This story is a sequel to H. G. Wells's The Island of Dr. Moreau, and
The Viscount and the Phantom by Lucy A. Snyder – A phantom of the Opera sequel.
While others like The Invisible Man: The Fire This Time by Maurice Broaddus, and The Picture of Doriana Gray by Mercedes M Yardley felt like they drifted too far from the feel of the original stories.
Overall, there is a lot to love about these stories, there are some sequel and spinoff stories, and some reimagined, with a variety of writing styles it means there is something for everyone.
I’d recommend this book to anyone who loves the classics or there modern counterparts.
*Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with a copy of the book in exchange for a honest review.*
