Dark Cities by Christopher Golden
3.0
So... let's just talk about the book without talking about "The Dogs" because... yeah. MAJOR sexual assault trigger warning for that entire story.
Other that that, I found some of the stories totally awesome (not sure on the names but - Dark Run Hill by Joe and Kasey Landsdale, the one by Ashley Benson I think?, and Grit by Jonathan Maberry or if I have the story titles wrong, the guy who tried to quit smoking, the man who got tattoos of people with their blood in it, and the girl who haunts her cousins) and found others completely mediocre and lackluster.
As a whole, I wouldn't describe this as a "horror" or "terror" anthology. More of thriller if anything. The first and last stories are the only ones that lived up to horror/terror. I generally liked a good chunk of it.
