Most of these short horror stories were great - some of them a little off the wall!
Of course if you're a cat lover you'll have to partake in the "Nightly Appetizer" section. It's the cats' meow! I should know - I'm the author.

This book holds one of my stories, and I'm proud of that, but even though it served up a fine mix of creativity in a variety of styles, I have to give it a three. I'm a terribly picky reader, and a three is pretty darn good coming from me. :) If you like short bursts of creative fiction, this book is for you.

This is a mixed collection of well written horror stories, some with hints of gore, some a smattering of science fiction, and still others contain bits of humor. What's truly fun about this collection is that not all of the authors have been published before, so it's giving new writers a chance showcase their works in an otherwise "hard to break in", horror market. Who knows, the next Stephen King may be lurking amongst these creepy pages.

Discover new and unusual writers--the new creatures of the literary night. Creatures of the Night is a nice anthology of flash fiction. Each story is original. Female writers truly represent within these pages. Look out guys, there are a lot of talented female writers lurking in the shadows ready to burst onto the scene!
