5.0

With all anthologies, the voices of each author shine through with exceptional stories. All the contributing authors did an amazing job at weaving together these dark tales of greed. Each one focuses on a different concept of how and what the character’s  are willing to do to earn their desired riches, material gains, and fame. 

In these seven tales we are given a look into greedy, dark desires filled with dread and doom. 

~The Secret Recipe by Nico Bell
   The desire to own a business that has a hidden secret and causes everything to spiral out of control ending in destruction and regret.

~Balminder’s Miracle Elixir by Jill Girardi 
   The desire to rid oneself of a wife to gain all her money using dark practices. Watch out for the risen for she is filled with wrath and vengeance.

~Greedy Pig by Lyndsey Ellis Holloway
A possessive and narcissistic man hell bent on completely controlling his girl but she has her own plans. She slowly and painfully exacts her revenge.

~Quota by Ruthann Jagge
   The desire to become an internet presence. To be recognized, admired, and gain all the attention. To finally have that social standing. At what cost and how far will one go to gain that ubiquitous fame? 

~Wreckers by Kenzie Jennings
   Vain intentions, mayhem and madness. A vision to rid the world of greed and debauchery. A spiritual cleansing of the world through cultish practices causing a following of suicidal ideations and homicide. 

~Pape Satàn Aleppe by Rebecca Rowland
   The desperation for wealth leads to a kidnapping gone wrong. The devil is ever lurking behind the evils of the world.

~The Stone Collector by Sonora Taylor
   A young girl living in the shadows of her mother’s simple life. Wanting more that life has to offer and to escape from the clutches of this mundaneness. She is willing to sacrifice everything to reach her desires but she must pay the price that is asked of her. 
Rich with imagery and depth, each of these are a stand out in the author’s ability to deliver creepy, dark, and twisted tales of greed. 

I thoroughly enjoyed all of these!
