A review by staciajayne
From Dark Places by Emma Newman

4.0

This is a wonderful and refreshing book of short, modern horror stories. There are 25 short stories in all and no losers in this collection, each individual story stands out on its own. Some are touching, some are humorous, others satisfyingly macabre but every story has a sharp unexpected twist at the end. The authors imagination seems limitless here and she approaches classic horror themes such as zombies and bargaining with the devil in a new and unexpected way. If you are a fan of the Pan Horror books or Tales from the Crypt, you will love these stories. Equally, if you are a fan of well written modern short stories, you won't be disappointed. I am looking forward to reading more by E J Newman.
