"We think a monster can at least be killed; it's flesh and blood.
Therefore it can die.
If it doesn't die, it will always be there—lurking in our shadows."

Book Lovers Never Go to Bed Alone
As much as we all love zombies, werewolves, and vampires, it’s refreshing now and then to run across stories or novels that tread different ground. To me, horror can and should be an unlimited genre. What’s more creepy than a storm late at night or a creaking floorboard when you are sure you are alone? The haunting sound of footsteps out of the fog? The Dangers Untold anthology is a reminder that horror need not always come in the Universal Monsters package.

This collection deliberately set out t...more

Dangers Untold is a unique animal in the horror anthology world. The writeup got me immediately. "Dangers Untold isn't your normal horror anthology; not a vampire, zombie or werewolf to be found." Okay, so what we do have then? Unusual monsters. Unexpected terror. Let's see what's in this thing!

This anthology delivers what it promises. Not one traditional monster story there. Very nice! What is there? Here are a few of the highlights without giving away too many secrets. In "A Monstrous Touch" b...more

October is the season for horror and this Halloween is no exception. I’ve seen a lot of anthologies scheduled for release, so we are in for a real scare season! Dangers Untold, edited by Jennifer Brozek, was the first on my reading list this year. Its premise was interesting-no traditional monsters. You won’t find a zombie or vampire anywhere in these pages. So what’s there? Enough chills and thrills to keep you awake long into the night.

There is nothing wrong with the classic horror monster....more

I just love a good scare and they seem rather hard to find these days. Flipping through the horror in any bookstore, I can find pages of blood, body parts, and other gore, but it's just not scary. Ok, so you ripped another arm off. Didn't the last guy do that too? A friend passed along the Dangers anthology and I paused. Good cover. No bloody axe. No zombies. No mutilated corpse. And so I began. And I read. And read. And kept reading. There are some really outstanding stories here! No werewolves...more

Positives: Not a zombie in site! This anthology made a point to seek out different angles on horror. The classics are great, but there is a lot more out there and you will find it here. Oracle bones that bleed, sea monsters of old, piecing together the soul, soul collectors... this collection is challenging and bold in scope.


A few standouts:

A Monstrous Touch by Marty Young
Mutes by Rob Smales
Beware the Nuckelavee by David Price
The Dybbuk Wife by Lillian Cohen-Moore
The Oracle Bone by B.E. Scully

If you're tired of the old vampire, werewolf, zombie kind of horror, Dangers Untold is the place for you! This collection features everything but the classics. The Horror Society challenged writer to go beyond the traditional "monster." What's fear? What's scary? This anthology definitely serves up a great feast. There were a few stories that were super violent and gore-soaked. I passed on those, but many of the authors really did a fantastic job of finding horror in the most unexpected places....more

I was hoping this would be a good Halloween read but unfortunately none of the stories were very scary. I won this book on goodreads.
