A cracking collection of stories. Fresh voices. My favourites were:The Wife Who Didn't Eat (Matsuura),Sick Cats in Small Places (Warren),Honey (Lupescu) andThe Mantle of Flesh (Scheuerman).

I suppose I say it too often, but I love horror anthologies. They are especially good for when I'm between novels or don't have a lot of time and just want to read a few pages here and there, on a lunch break or before bed. What I really loved about this anthology is that it took me on a trip around the world without having to leave the safety of my home. I also loved that each story was accompanied by an illustration, because what good is a trip around the world without pictures! All of these a...

A World of Horror edited by Eric J. Guignard is an amazing collection of tales from all over the world! If you’re a horror fan, you have to check this one out!Full disclosure: I was given a free copy of this book from the editor in exchange for an honest review. This did not affect my rating in any way.This was such an awesome collection! I really loved how it was organized and how it allowed me to read from authors from many countries that I hadn’t read from before!Each tale had an illustration...

I absolutely loved this anthology of horror stories from around the world, and I hope it's a herald of things to come as speculative fiction publishing continues to shift toward embracing diverse voices. The great thing about this book is that it offers a broad range of stories from various countries, like South Africa, Japan, Nigeria, Brazil, Italy, and more. With that incredible range, you feel like you really are getting to see different perspectives of horror from around the world that we wo...

This whole book of bringing together authors from around the world was an exceptional idea, and beautifully executed both in terms of story content and in visual appeal (nod to artist Steve Lines!). There’s a great variety of stories and tones, exploring myths and fears and tastes from 22 authors (in 18 countries, with a few countries represented twice). I loved Rhea Daniel in India, and Kaaron Warren in Australia, and David McGroarty in Scotland, and Suyi Davies Okungbowa in Nigeria, and so man...

It's rare that I find an anthology where every story is great, and this is one of them. I really enjoyed the variations of stories in the book - there are some fantastic monster stories, hauntings, and more. And one of the shortest stories in the book, "Warning: Flammable, See Back Label" disturbed me to no end. Some of my favorites were: On a Wooden Plate, on a Winter's Night by David Nickle (Canada)The Secret Life of the Unclaimed by Suyi Davies Okungbowa (Nigeria)Obibi by Dilman Dila (Uganda)...

Full ReviewA World of Horror is essential reading for fans of horror and dark fiction. The stories are all well-written, entertaining, and fascinating looks into the cultures from which they came. I hope that in the future Guignard will put together another book in the same vein.

Awesome collection-great variety of stories.

This anthology is wonderfully dangerous. In addition to a story from one of my favorite short story writers, Nadia Bulkin, this anthology has generated a giant list of writers I need to search for more material from. The stories in here are diverse not just in the author origins and tone, but they also vary in makeup so much that it felt like a course in world literature in one volume. A day after reading the final story and I’m still thinking not just about individual stories, but how mind expa...

Full review at Dead Head ReviewsThe premise of this book is absolutely fantastic – to seek out as many different stories from as many different countries as possible. And though there are a couple of stories from countries very familiar to Western horror readers, more come from places likely unfamiliar to English speakers. Inside this anthology, readers will find stories from Japan, Ukraine, Nigeria, Singapore, Sweden, Philippines and more. And each, in their own way, is an absolute delight.I am...

This anthology, A WORLD OF HORROR, is simply superb. Well planned, well implemented, gorgeously designed, and fantastic stories. Almost every contribution in this book is worth the ticket of admission. I really appreciated the chance to read dark-natured fictions stories from all over the world in just one place. Surprisingly, it’s hard to find good horror stories from a diverse group of authors all brought together in one book, but the editor Eric J. Guignard succeeded in this admirably. Some o...

Like most anthologies, this was a hit or a miss but it was great to read stories based on folklore from around the world.

Cool book full Audio review coming with my Dickheads co-host Anthony Trevino coming soon.

A World of Horror, edited by Eric J. Guignard, is the longest lingering collection on the review shelves, an anthology I started exploring at the tail end of the summer. It was an entirely new-to-me slate of authors, which is probably why I lingered over it for so long. While there are a handful of Western stories - Canada, USA, England, Australia - the others are from South Africa, Eastern Europe, Latin America, Japan, Philippines, and more. A truly global slate of horror.That diversity was som...

Chilling, suspenseful. An excellent collection.

https://thebookloversboudoir.wordpres...(copy via @ericjguignard and voluntarily reviewed)This is my first time reading many of the authors in this anthology with the exception of Kaaron Warren and Ray Cluley. I love discovering new authors and this is one of the most enjoyable things about reading anthologies. I have a list of new authors to check out. I love horror fiction and have specific tastes. I enjoy everything except horror that is over the top and gory for the sake of being gory. I lov...

An enjoyable collection of dark speculative fiction, horror, and general strangeness from around the world. My personal favorites were One Last Wayang, The Shadows of Saint Urban, and The Man At Table Nine - but most of the stories were a fun read, and only two were eventually skimmed. Absolutely recommended to anyone who enjoys a little bit of dark weirdness!

This is an anthology with horror or weird short stories written by writers from all around the world (aptly named, WORLD OF HORROR!). What a great idea and a great execution. The book is beautifully designed and there’s an artist with exceptional old school art. The stories are intense, raw. Some of them funny, bizarre, but all well written and thoroughly interesting to read these points of view from all over the world! Good job to editors and writers involved!

Review for Monster Librarian forthcoming. I love this anthology.
