Disclaimer: I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I sometimes struggle reading too much within my favorite genres in finding originality and reading a story that feels fresh and really intrigues me again in a new way. A lot of the time while I still enjoy horror overall, I find myself not fearful or even suspenseful during my reading. This particular horror based anthology was a huge success for achieving just the opposite. Each author brought something peculiar to each story that really made it fun and exciting to read. At certain points it felt like I had never read anything like it. Each author had their own style but all the stories had this overall unknown foreboding to them that just made them all feel so eerie. I don’t think any of the stories were overall mind blowing and genre shattering but they were so fun, so creepy and so thoughtful that it really was a pleasure to experience again. 

I gave it a 5 out of 5. I have to give credit to these authors and their chosen format. I think short stories can really be useful in horror, giving you no time to calm down once it starts, pulling you rapidly into fear and craziness, and reading it this way can really put you on edge in my opinion. This set of twenty-four stories took that format, gave you sharp stories and creepy scenes that really work well in partnership together. If you want to read something extremely quick paced with a lot of fun work with your imagination and really holds true to the unknown and animalistic qualities of the world being such a fear inducing experience, this is absolutely a read to check out.
