About the author
Taylor Fenner
12 books133 followersTAYLOR FENNER is the author of eleven Young Adult and New Adult novels and novellas. Her Young Adult Fantasy Retelling, CURSEBREAKER, was shortlisted for the 2017 Ozma Award for Fantasy Fiction, and her standalone fantasy novel, MONSTERS & MIST, is a Literary Titan Silver Book Award Winner and was also shortlisted for the 2021 Ozma Award for Fantasy Fiction.
Taylor is a thirty-something-year-old book junkie who devours books in most genres, although she has a soft spot for thrillers and horror novels.
Taylor lives in Wisconsin with her escape artist cat, Houdini, and a British shorthair cat, Makita, who might have eaten her last owner. Besides writing, by night, Taylor works the night shift as a dispatcher in a possibly haunted police station. When not working on her next novel, you’ll find Taylor traveling or planning her next adventure, watching horror movies - she says classic horror is the best - reading or watching shows about creepy history, indulging in sugary coffee drinks, singing badly along to songs on Spotify in the car, and obsessively planning for Halloween starting in July (it’s never too early). You can follow Taylor on Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok.

Very fun read
These stories remind me of the slasher movies of the 80's. I found them to be entertaining and really fun to read. I recommend this book to anyone who loves horror with a little bit of romance.

I forgot to post my review of this book back in October. I loved the main story, Night of Terror. It was deliciously dark and chilling, which makes you wonder about the dark things living in the author's mind. Some of the other stories in the collection were familiar to me from the author's previous postings of them on DeviantART but I thought they all came together well in this collection. Definitely a great fall read, especially around Halloween!
