Dark Screams: Volume Ten by Wrath James White, Heather Herrman, Brian James Freeman, Marc Rains, Simon Clark, Lisa Tuttle, Richard Chizmar, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Clive Barker
3.0
The first story "Bastion" by Simon Clark was my favorite, even though to me it was more of a Sci-Fi than a horror. It was also the longest story, taking up 49% of the book. A young boy is suddenly thrust into a strange and dangerous world where children are soldiers. He has no memory of how he got there or even what his own name is. It seems to be a world made up of only young boys, no parents, no memories, and deadly enemies to fight.
The Woman in the Blue Dress by Heather Herrman was more along the lines of the horror I was expecting. As Natalie is eating alone in a restaurant one night a strange woman intrudes on her dinner. She is quite insistent and seems to know more about Natalie than she would if this were really just a chance encounter. This was a spine tingler for me.
Dark Water by Marc Rains and Lisa Tuttle concerns another chance meeting, but this beautiful woman isn't exactly looking for love when she invites a stranger home from the coffee shop.
I received an advance copy for review.
