Pretty good anthology with some solid stories.
not too bad reallyWell, all of these stories possess elements of horror, no doubt of that. Some of them are better written than others is all. They cover a wide range of themes from the apocolypse to Halloween clowns and the power of faith. Not a bad collection. Could have done with a bit less of the ‘he said’ ‘she said’ though.
I’m a voracious reader and I’m particularly fond of short horror fiction. In the span of a given calendar year, I manage to read anywhere from fifteen to twenty horror anthologies. By the same token, I’m also a writer who specializes in short horror fiction. As such, I am well aware of the tricks of the trade and despite the best efforts of most authors, I find as years pass that I tend to pick up on the twists and turns of even the most skillfully constructed short stories well before they’re r...
Are you a Dark Dreamer?" So begins the foreword to Dead Awake, 12 tales of darkness from the new generation of horror. Anthologies are like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're gonna get. Some of these tales, most notably The House on Dandy Lane by Christy Aldridge, Matriphagy by Sadie Hartmann (Bookstagram's own Mother Horror) and To Burn the Black Church by The Sisters of Slaughter, were just the right size, with enough suspense to keep you intrigued and with a satisfying ending.

Fraser’s “High Tide” introduces us to a man who just wants to save himself and his kid when the Flood (some sort of high-speed infection) breaks through the wall. T...

Gory, brash and bold. Some excellent tales with only one or two misses.
3.5 stars!
Anthologies are generally a mixed bag; not every story will work for every reader. The same goes for this one. That being said, there was enough in here that worked for me to make this worth reading.Highlights include:"To Burn the Black Church" was my first time reading anything by the Sisters of Slaughter, but it certainly won't be my last. This was an interesting tale of an evil building that I kind of wish had been longer but otherwise enjoyed.AC Fraser's "High Tide" was a unique look at a po...
some good some not so quick read so go for it.
