I started this anthology with the intention of reading a couple of short stories in- between full length novels. Instead, I ended up reading this straight through. There wasn't a bad story in this book and they were all good in their own ways. Here are a few of my absolute favorites: Phoenix- by Mark Allan Gunnells Sharp Echoes- by Kelli OwenWomb With a View- by Chad Lutzke Midnight in the Southland- by Todd Keisling The Black Door- by Anthony J. Rapino I don't read a lot of short stories but o...
I've really enjoyed work by a number of the contributors. But I don't think their stories here compare with their best.More notes here:https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
“My life has become a sum of all the ways a person can be powerless.” -Kristi DeMeesterSometimes it feels like we are there, in between, in a liminal space. A transitional space where we are neither one thing or another. Disturbing and dark, these are stories of places you don’t want to find yourself. Reminiscent of the old Tales From the Darkside where regular people slip off the path of normality. Wander into the drive-in, the parking garage, the delivery room, the bar, or the cat cafe- howeve...
Now THAT is what an anthology should be.
Favorite stories: Robert Ford's "Written in Water," Michael Wehunt's "O Adelin," and Richard Thomas' "Rotten to the Core.”
I am reviewing this book for Cemetery Dance in my position as an early reviewer, so I must note I was given this book in exchange for an honest review. A new, refreshing horror collection about the spaces between, running the gamut from simply the best Lovecraftian story I have ever read to the most disturbing body horror about the most selfish cat lady that has ever lived. Two of the stories take place in the time of Covid without being stressful to the reader, and both take a unique approach t...
LIMINAL SPACES: AN ANTHOLOGY OF DARK SPECULATIVE FICTION is filled with such an impressive lineup of authors that you can't NOT get this one. Not only am I impressed with the caliber of authors listed in the TOC, but I am even more blown away at how my extremely high expectations (which probably isn't fair) were met story after story after story. It's extremely rare for me to find an anthology that totally blows me away cover to cover, but this one does it in spades.According to the summary, ‘li...
Incredible line up and great stories!
Chilling stories about when life makes a turn into unexpected places.
I read the anthology "Liminal Spaces" as part of the monthly group read at Literary Horror. Typically I haven't had much luck lately with anthologies, but this one was much more hit than miss. As an anthology that collects dark stories about the space between, there was a lot here to like. Some of my favorites included the first story, "Written in Water," "O Adelin," and "Rotten to the Core." Chad Lutzke's "Womb with a View" was especially unnerving, and I found myself on the edge of my seat as
I started this anthology collection expecting to like it far more than I did. The stories were for the most part just okay. No story in the anthology is awful or a waste of time to read, thankfully. But few hit high notes either. None of the stories stand out in my mind, though the first three are the most memorable.The first story was arguably the best in the anthology, except that it wasn't horror. It wasn't even speculative. It featured no supernatural elements. To my surprise, it finished as...
