4.0
The fourth collection of the Women of Horror anthologies, Quite a few new names for me as well as some that I've read work by before
What The Sea Gives - K.P Kulski - Lost on an island waiting for the sea to bring her back her daughter. I liked the prose style, but this one wasn't for me 3/5
Black Eyed Susan - Ariel Dodson - An author grieves for her daughter, until the night she comes back. 4/5
The Silver Horn - Alyson Faye - Breaking down on the yorkshire moor leads to a tense cat and mouse chase with a monster 4/5
Breaking Up Is hard To Do - Caryn Larrinaga - An ex-boyfriend finds out how protective his girlfriends cat can be 4/5
Shoot Your Shot - Charlotte Platt - Incel shoots up a library, may have made a terrible mistake 4/5
Follow you into The Dark - Jennifer Soucy - A man goes to hell to rescue his true love. This was awesome and incredibly dark 5/5
The Groom Of Lorelei - Holley Cornetto - A man dreams of a strange figure at sea 3/5
The Coachman's Cottage - Anna Taborska - A dreadful past comes back to haunt a guest at a family celebration 4/5
Capable of Loving - Sonora Taylor - A puppeteer and an odd girl meet and have a conversation, years later it comes back to haunt him. Super dark psychological horror 5/5

Perfect Girlfriend - Angela Yuriko Smith - A pleasure robot reprogrammed to con people rebels against its master 5/5
Misneach - Roxie Vorhees - What would a mother do to protect her child 4/5
The Kinda True Story of Bloody Mary - Tracy Cross - A group of children on a sleepover tell spooky stories, with unexpected results 4/5
Close to You - Cassie Daley - A happy couple, breakfast, weirdness. A strangely sweet story with a beautiful ending 5/5

An Agreement - Sheela Kean - A man hunting Elk gets on the wrong side of an agreement his sister has with what dwells in the forest 3/5

The Trial of Jehenne de Brigue - CC Winchester - the Trial of a witch with a nice little twist 3/5
Seeds - Marie McWilliams - Sent to live in a home, a boy become obsessed with the woods surrounding it, the woods that hold a terrible secret 4/5

A good solid collection
