5.0
Dark Screams (Volume Six) Edited by Brian James Freeman and Richard Chizmar
★★★★★ Five Star Collection!
"A collection of short stories which will leave your skin crawling." - Me
The Old Dude's Ticker by Stephen King
★★★★★
Are you a fan of Edgar Allen Poe? What if Poe was alive and well today? What would his famous stories be like? Stephen King writes his own interpretation of a Poe classic.
The Rich Are Different by Lisa Morton
★★★★★
Beauty and the Beast? With a mix of ancient myth, a rich family, and the poor fair maiden, Morton has created a terrifying love story, leaving you with an unsettling horror.
The Manicure by Nell Quinn-Gibney
★★★★
Metal nails on the chalkboard? Finger nails being ripped clean off? We all have our fears, but how far will your fear go to overtake your own sanity?
The Comforting Voice by Norma Prentiss
★★★
A new baby journies to our world all the while listening to her grandpa who speaks through an electronic voice box. The baby seems to cry randomly and nothing seems to sooth her except one thing: grandpa’s electronic voice.
The Situations by Joyce Carol Oates
★
Father knows best? Authority and power can be dangerous, terrifying weapons.
The Corpse King by Tim Curran
★★★★★
Grave robbing is not an easy job, but with a stinking childhood, two friends have to make a living somehow. There is little that scare thieves of the dead, but a rumor begins to circulate about a monster who haunts the North Burial Grounds. Believing it to be imaginations running wild or the effects of inhaling death’s putrid odors, the two friends adventure to the North Grounds because business is simply business. You will never want to enter a graveyard again after hearing this dear old tale.
Overall, it was worth the read! I read it in about a day or two!
