When @blackspotbooks reached out to me with the opportunity to read this book, I was hesitant at first.
The main reason being, if you know me at all, you'll know I'm a massive wimp, and I'm terrified of anything even remotely creepy.
However, I was really intrigued and decided to give it a go, and I regret nothing!
As with any anthology, there were some stories that stood out more than others to me, but overall, the quality of each story was really high.
I loved all the new interpretations of the monsters that even non horror fans like me know about. It was really interesting to see things from different points of view from what we're used to.
A few particular favourites of mine were:
The Picture of Dorianna Gray,
Hacking the Horseman's Code,
They Call Me Mother, and
Beautiful Monster.
This was a wonderful collection that even non horror fans can enjoy too.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
