Ok, before anyone states the obvious, let me address it. I rarely read short stories and/or collections like this. And when I do, I am extremely critical of them, mostly because I find it hard to connect with a plot and characters that only exist for such a limited number of pages. But this horror collection, solely dealing with Easter themes was just too unique to pass up. Then I saw the likes of Amy Cross and Mark Lukens, so i just had to go for it. And all the stories had their own individual...

First of all, this anthology gets 10 points for the Easter theme. Such a unique spin on horror and every single story was so unique both in voice and in plot. This is a great little collection and it's packed full.

3.5 stars rounded up for Goodreads.This was an incredibly fun collection of short horror stories. I loved that all were Easter-related -- what a unique concept! It was extra thematic for me as I read this around Easter time with Peeps and Easter chocolate in tow. It was a very enjoyable experience. Plenty of creativity lurks within the pages of this one: killer jelly beans and monster Peeps; stories of resurrection gone wrong; zombie-like bunny creatures; chilling children; a sinister scavenger

As a contributor to this collection, my review only covers the stories that are not mine. Much like Collected Christmas Horror Shorts, I enjoyed the variety and uniqueness brought by each author. It is fascinating to see all the different ways a holiday can be turned to horror. There is some brilliance, some terror, and also some mundane in the pages, but the collection achieves a good balance.

You'll Never Look At Easter The Same AgainThe fact that this is a collection of stories means that some are really good and some are downright dumb. However, that being said, you should read this book anyway. Even the dumb ones have a redeeming quality or two. They're not all horror stories, if you think about traditional horror. Some are just sick. Some are quite humorous and some will scare the pants off you. Read it and see what I mean.

I was specifically looking for something that I thought would help me in a reading challenge for the month...finding 12 Easter related words...and this seemed like it would fit the bill. It did actually, in fact, it contained every word I was looking for with the exception of Passover (so I read The Passover Murder by Lee Harris). The first couple of stories in the collection were there to kind of draw you in because they were relatively "scary" but not really bloody and disgusting. I can't say

I read and enjoyed the Halloween and Christmas horror anthologies and I was surprised to learn that there is an Easter version. The stories are a little longer, but just as varied and in this case completely original. Who can come up with plots where the Easter bunny is evil and creepy? Well, several authors it turns out, including Kevin J. Kennedy who, in A Town called Easter, transforms the furry magical creatures into monsters from your worst nightmares; or Christina Bergling, who turns a swe...

Do you get irritated with the whole season of Easter with the squeals of joy of the smiling kids and the religious message He Has Risen? Are your bunnies demonic as opposed to the cute, cuddly hoppers? Are your Easter eggs deadly or filled with little monsters? For the record, one Easter my parents bought me a damned polyster suit so Neil Murray (wrote the forward to the book) I will trade you the polyester suit for that horrible shirt. Collected Easter Horror Shorts is a cool read as the storie...

had a fun time with this one. I don't usually like to do short stories, but saw some favorite authors in the book. some really, really good reads and found some new authors to follow.loved this

Incredible!!!I am a big fan of Kevin J Kennedy’s anthologies and this one does not disappoint. The authors are some of my favorites. So well written and go from straight in your face horror to psychological horror all with the Easter theme. Just amazing loved every story he’s so good at choosing which ones to put in his books. Check this out just great!!!!

Thanks to the author for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.Reading short stories around a special time of year is most fun for me. I've read the Christmas book around that time and the Halloween book around Halloween as well. It was so much fun to read these stories when you're in that one holiday vibe. So I decided to pick this book up somewhere around Easter. If you like horror stories, I'd definitely recommend one of the short story books from Kevin J. Ken...

A great horror anthology with a wide variety of interpretations of the Easter theme. Some stories just happen to play at Easter time, others take it a step further with weird easter eggs or creepy bunnies.Over 20 stories await the eager reader, and while I found one or two foul eggs in the basket, the majority were a sweet treat. Usually, I rate every story in an anthology, but I didn't take notes along the way, so I would have trouble recalling the details of each and every piece here. While I

Holiday of horrorSomething for all who enjoy a good scary story. Spooky tales of Easter eggs to horrifying bunny rabbits. Horror doesn't take a holiday...it IS the holiday!!!

When Kevin J. Kennedy sent me a copy of Collected Easter Horror Shorts, I could not wait for Easter to roll around! Unfortunately life got a bit too busy, so I wasn't able to finish the book before Easter... But this certainly isn't a book you want to rush!If you're looking for a crazy rollercoaster of horror short stories all centered around a seemingly unlikely holiday, you have to check this one out! I will never think about Easter the same way again!Full disclosure: I was given a free copy o...

Loved the book I liked the idea of the Easter bunny being bad it made for some interesting stories . One or two was a little off putting like Easter Funny...but that's just me

A simply superb collection of horror shorts by various authors, all with an Easter theme. There was seriously not one story I didn't like (even the poem) and all were exceptionally well written with a vast amount of premises that were as fascinating as they were chilling. I really can't pick a favourite as they were all exemplary.I don't think I'm ever going to think of bunnies the same way again and I certainly won't be in a rush to crack open the egg surprises this coming Easter.

Who needs an Easter egg when you've got this to devour over the Easter weekend. A fab collection of horror stories, some I liked, some I didn't. But for a freebie & any horror lover that wants shorter reads, this is the book for you. Happy Easter guys! 👯🐰🐣🌞🌼

Review Pending.

Another great book of shorts by Kennedy. He really knows how to make holidays creepy.

Kevin J. Kennedy edited Collected Easter Horror Shorts (Collected Horror Shorts Book 2). As the title says, it’s a collection of short stories connected to Easter in one way or another. Some are about mysterious eggs. Others are about resurrection. Still others are about bunnies, and some just happen to take place on Easter. I have to say that my favorite sub-theme is that of mysterious eggs that hatch into something unexpected. Like most anthologies, you’re likely to find some stories you like
