An assortment of the weird and wonderful, the monstrous and the macabre, the Dark Lane anthology series continues with Volume Two. Containing brand new stories from authors such as Rebecca Lloyd, James Everington, Louis Rakovich, Mathew Lett, Keldra Crich, and a host of other talents, not to mention artwork from Vikki Yeates, Luna Lynch, Martin Greaves and Sally Barnett, this is one anthology to treasury. Within these pages the reader will encounter hauntings and apparitions, sentient swamps, strange fish, mysterious phenomena, and tales of the unexplained. There are tales within these pages that will make you shiver, some that make you think, some that make you laugh, and some that do all three. All carefully chosen and beautifully written in order to present the reader with a world of weird.

Not my usual cup of tea. As I mentioned before, I had picked it up because my Goodreads friend, Andrew Knighton had a story in it. But it's nice to be remembered that sometimes there's beauty in the dark.
