Reviews

[Sheena Forsberg · Rating 4 out of 5]

There’s some really good stories in this anthology and it has introduced me to more authors I’d like to have a second look at.

[Mark · Rating 4 out of 5]

I hadn't written horror for a while, concentrating more on contemporary drama, until I found this in a 2nd hand bookshop one day. It was a revelation, the first anthology I'd read in a long time and two stories in particular - Michael Marshall Smith's "More Bitter Than Death" and "The Dog Park" by Dennis Etchison - blew me away. I started writing short horror stories again, after reading this and had my first acceptance the following year.
