Thank you netgalley and publishers for providing this eARC for me to review :)
Riding the Nightmare lives up to it's name. 12 short horror stories that will each take you for a ride. She does a great job of setting up a story, getting you hooked, and turning it around to a dark ending in a short span of time. I've read collections of short horror stories before and this was one of the better ones, with only one below four stars. I definitely recommend this for some quicker reads.
Riding the Nightmare: 5⭐
Bits and Pieces: 5⭐
The Mezzotint: 4.5 ⭐
After the End: 3⭐
The Third Person: 4.5⭐
The Wound: 5⭐
The Man in the Ditch: 5⭐
The Last Dare: 4⭐
Home in the Sky: 4⭐ (cute, but not scary)
Voices in the Night: 4⭐
The Hungry Hotel: 4⭐
The Dragon's Bride: 5⭐
