The Aching Darkness: A Dark Fantasy Anthology by Robert Stock, Jessica Ozment, Alexia Purdy
5.0
5 Stars
The Aching Darkness is a spellbinding anthology of dark fantasy stories that really made me sit up and take notice. Each story was original, well written and intriguing. I devoured the whole anthology in one sitting, that’s how good they were. I was drawn to this collection because I really love dark stories, but primarily because Parker Sinclair is one of the contributing authors and I LOVE everything she writes. Her contribution to this collection exceeded all my expectations and then some. As always, she delivered the goods in a completely riveting way. Hello, she had me at Dark Angel.
The other three authors are all new to me, but that status is about to change as of NOW!
Alexia Purdy, how have I not discovered this author before now, looking at all the books she has released, they are all right smack bang at the top of the list of types of books that I love to read, so needless to say I will be going on a one-click frenzy with her catalogue of books. Her addition to this anthology was fantastic, a plague, Las Vegas, Zombie like creatures and so much more. She packed a lot of story into a small space!
Jessica Ozment is another new to me author whose work I will be following closely from now on. Her contribution to this collection was awesome! A White Witch on the verge of gaining incredible powers, with a complicated past. We follow as her destiny unfolds! Can’t wait to read more of her work.
Robert Stock’s offering to the anthology appears to be his debut novel. I was sooooo impressed by his story and devoured every word. I really hope he has more work/stories in the pipeline because I really love his style and storyline. His Vampire story with an edge and a bit of a twist- was one of my favourites, and I really can’t wait to read more from him!
A truly brilliant collection!! Now I want more!! When is the next collection coming out (hint, hint, hint 😊)
Bravo, and thank you to all the contributing authors!!
