*CONTENT WARNING: This review refers to disturbing sexual content in this book*The very kind editor gave me the opportunity to read an advance review copy of this anthology of short horror stories. He was super friendly, and I was really looking forward to reading this book. I was expecting to love it, and I really wanted to love it, but unfortunately that was not my experience. I wish I could write a more positive review, because other readers seemed to really enjoy it, but this book is definit...
Ceci n’est pas une histoire d’horreur (This is Not a Horror Story), the debut anthology from Night Terror Novels, is now available to log on Goodreads ahead of release on the 30th October!
'This is Not a Horror Story' is an arresting, unsettling and unpredictable read. All fifteen stories have their own dark charm and quirks. Though I enjoyed all of them, 'The Puppy Farm' and 'Wake Up, Miles' are the standouts for me. I was thoroughly entertained by the ambiguousness, the colorful characters, vivid descriptions and the otherworldliness that seep through the pages. Despite the title of the book, these tales are, unmistakably, of the uncanny and the morbid kind.
I am absolutely obsessed with this book! On a whim I decided to join their ARC team and I am so happy that I did! As soon as I picked up the book I was hooked on everything about it! I've always had a hit & miss relationship with horror novels but this one absolutely hit the spot and I can't get over how much I totally enjoyed this book! If you love all things horror, then this book is absolutely the book for you!

This is Not a Horror Story is a dark, disorientating collection of fifteen stories that use all kinds of narration techniques and subgenres to horrify its readers.There's slipstream, body horror, satire, LGBTQ+, fantasy, folklore (from a diverse range of cultures), sci-fi, the ghostly and the outright demonic. And there are a lot of TWs, so check them first! The variety and creativity found in this anthology really is amazing. I think most horror fans will find something they love in here, and t...
A weird and horrifically wonderful anthology. This contains some of the darkest and strangest stories I've read in a long time. They stick in your head and make you question things you'd never considered before (looking at you, The Puppy Farm!)Many of these stories read like surrealist paintings. Things move chaotically and in ways you're not used to, but there's no disputing the quality. Each of these stories has its own special magic and takes you on a wild ride.This is a truly haunting anthol...
