Dark Stars: New Tales of Darkest Horror by John F.D. Taff
4.0
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an e-book ARC for me to read. This review is my honest opinion.
This collection of stories was great. I was surprised by many of the stories because they didn't read as horror, necessarily, until I was deep into the story. I liked a lot of the characters and strange situations in them. My favorite story was probably "Papa Eye," which was about a doctor moving to a strange island. The subtle horror elements in this one, like many of the stories, built up to a really interesting climax and reveal.
I recommend this collection to readers who enjoy stories that start out with every day situations that build up to something strange and/or horrific.
