Beyond the Veil by Mark Morris
2.0
Once again, Morris has assembled an impressive line-up of the top names in the genre. Beyond The Veil contains 20 original horror stories. Sixteen stories have been commissioned from established authors. Four have been selected from the stories sent to Flame Tree during a 2-week open submissions window.
I found Morris' previous anthology, After Sundown, more exciting and more consistent - I enjoyed most stories it featured. In Beyond The Veil I loved some of the stories, disliked more than a few, and didn't care about a few.
My favorite story is, without a doubt, Alita Whiteley's Soapstone. It starts as a mundane tale of grief but turns into something else and ends up giving you shivers.
Gemma Files' Yellowback is an interesting take on cosmic horror with a surprising ending and fun story.
Beyond The Veil is a solid horror anthology. Every fan of horror short stories will find something to terrify them.
