Did you know that a drabble is a short form of fiction that is exactly 100 words long?I learned this when Mr. Kennedy asked me to read 100 Word Horrors: An Anthology of Horror Drabbles in 2018. After reading the first few tales in that collection, I was in love!When the author sent over the second edition, I was ecstatic! This second collection of drabbles had a bit of everything and I had so much fun reading it.Full disclosure: I was given a free copy of this book by the author in exchange for
Short, sharp, shocks!As good if not better than the first. Really enjoyed the wide range of tales included here. I find it amazing how a story can be told so well in so few words, some really clever stuff. Can't wait to start book 3
Happy Halloween!! This is a delightful book that will put you in the mood for the season! These are short, 100 words, scary stories. Because they are short you can stop and start anytime you want I opted to read it in one sitting.Just because they are short doesn't mean that they aren't surprising, shocking, scary or horror filled so this isn't a book for the kiddies or the easily upset. These aren't the long tension filled scary stories these are more like a Jack in the Box (the toy not the bur...

In 2018, Kevin J. Kennedy compiled the impressive anthology, 100 Word Horrors: An Anthology of Horror Drabbles. This was a collection of horror drabbles, stories that are exactly 100 words each. A year later Kennedy followed up the success of this book with a second, 100 Word Horrors: Part 2.Part 2 continues in the same vein as the original book, with many returning authors exploring stories of slashers, monsters, phobias, hauntings, and other horror topics, all within the 100-word restriction.
A generous two stars...This is a huge dip in quality from the first volume. A few of the stories in here are worth reading, but the majority of these horror dabbles feel like incomplete thoughts or elementary school creative writing. I support the concept and creativity behind this, so will likely try the next volume at some point; but this one was strike one. Some of the stories have noticeable spelling and punctuation errors, and some appear to just end (not on purpose) and are missing words (...
I really hope he keeps doing these. I absolutely loved the first one and this one is even better. I live how some of the authors that I know of and am a big fan of are in this book. And it contains just about every kind of horror you can think of. Not just one type of horror but all kinds. Also some of them have fantastic twists at the end. Please keep making these huge fan!!
Kevin J Kennedy asked his favorite writers to join him in this book of drabbles. A horror drabble is exactly 100 words that will set your teeth to chattering, the back of your neck to break out in goosebumps and will have you sleeping with the light on! Horrifyingly fun!
100 Word Horrors Part 2 is a fun, diverse collection of drabbles written by a stellar list of authors. There is something here for everyone. Psychological Horror. Suspenseful Horror. Shocking Horror. Horror Poetry!Having come to this collection well after its release, I have had the opportunity to see others’ thoughts on the collection. A few people have left low star reviews because they did not like all of the drabbles. Well, no kidding. With a collection this diverse, one is not going to like...
Excellent way to get some fiction in on a busy day. Also works as a coffee table book and something to freak out company in the guest bathroom. There are some great writers in here.
Some of thse are funWell, there’s a bit of everything here. Some poetry, some jokes, some twisted endings and some hoorror too. Well, quite a lot of horror actually. There’s something for everyone in this and a few twisted pets as well. They’re outlines of stories as well as being the whole thing. You could embellish them but I wouldn’t advise it, the copyright demon might just take exception.
Too many missesI personally did not care for this collection,I read every review first(as I was suspicious what anthology especially a drabble gets 7-5star reviews?)and decided to take a chance. I found 29 really great HORROR DRABBLES, you know like the books title states,then another 16 passable the rest was filler. I think the editor knew it because of the spacing/placement,there was never two great stories back to back yet the fillers were sometimes 4-5in a row. I read the first one and it ha...
A drabble is a form of short fiction that is exactly 100 words long. It isn't just a random paragraph; it contains a beginning, middle, and end. I really enjoyed 100 Word Horrors (Book 1) so when I saw there would be a second one, I preordered the moment it was announced. I really enjoyed most of the drabbles contained in 100 Word Horrors Part 2. However, there were quite a few typos throughout this collection. In one drabble alone, there were 3 errors. Because these fiction pieces are so short,...
Nobody knows the drabbles I've seen; nobody knows except those who have read this book. It is 100 Word Horrors Part 2 with a cute skull on the cover. Those who have contributed are writers adept at short stories, novellas, and novels. Now you may think drabbles are easy - no. In exactly 100 words you present the picture, throw in the horror and tingles up the spine, and close it with doom and destruction or a questionable future. What kind of drabbles are you expecting to find here? Some of them...
Having really enjoyed the first offering of 100 Word Horrors, it was exciting to see a second book released. The list of authors involved is simply superb, and the book contains some fantastic pieces of flash fiction. This is an essential coffee-table book to dip into when you have a few spare moments. I enjoyed almost all of the stories included, but the stand out ones for me were DIY by Mark Lumby, Without You by Jasper Bark, She Fought Back by James Newman, and Broken Heart by Lee Franklin.
Not too bad.I really enjoy this way of telling horror stories. No boring and unneeded details. Just a nice quick shock then onto the he next story.
Great anthology! Nice variety of scares.
Review: A follow-up collection to the first 100-word anthology of drabbles (tales written in exactly 100 words). Fun book, and one can’t go wrong with so many 1/2-page stories. Great excerpts by Gary McMahon, James Newman, Eric Guignard, Richard Chizmar, Lee Murray, Paul Kane, Michal Arnzen, and many, many more. I read that one of the authors is only 10 years old, Julian Guignard, with his debut stories that fit right alongside the experienced authors! Great afternoon read.
Some absolutely fantastic fiction in this one!
ANOTHER TRIUMPH!! Kevin J. Kennedy has again compiled an amazing group of writers who have some horrific insight to instill in 100 words. Some a little funny, some a little scary, some down right messed up, and some horrifying beyond belief! Always a great eclectic mix, and a great way to get to know the writing of so many amazing authors in a fun and easy format!!If you're a "bathroom book" kind of person, this is a great idea for you! ...That way if it scares the poop out of you, you're alread...
