[Dave Granger · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a beast! It is big and packed with stories, 48 in all! That is huge. And when you read what has been put in here, it's amazing that so many of them are not just good, but great. I will say that there were a few bumps in the road, some stories that just didn't strike my fancy, but all in all it is well worth the money.
Highlights in this were The Cherry Tree by James S. Dorr, Becoming the Beast by Christian A. Larsen,
Give Me Convenience by Shaun Meeks, Evacuation by Jay Wilburn, From Suicide Station by Adam Millard, The Face of Death by Paul Kane, The Gatehouse by Anna Taborska, In Green Remembered by Christopher Nadeau and Sowing the Seeds by Bear Weiter. There are so many other great ones in here, trust me, but these were the highlights. Highly recommended.

[Darlene Harris · Rating 4 out of 5]

There is a lot of horror to be had in this. Not all of it is good, some in fact I didn't even finish as they were really boring, but with so many stories that are good and the handful or so that are GREAT, it still makes it worth it whether you pick it up in digital or print formats. The best stories in here that should not be missed are Becoming the Beast by Christian A. Larsen, a story that had my skin crawling and made sleeping that night fun; From the Suicide Station by Adam Millard, a writer who clearly has no fear of splattering the pages in gore; The Cherry Tree by James S. Dorr, a creeper of a tale with a great ending; Give Me Convenience by Shaun Meeks, one of the two best stories in this, clearly one of the most violent and intense in the set; and finally, Trauma Children by Lucy Taylor, the other top story in this set. Lucy writes the way people talk and this story is one of her best.
This is a great book to add to your collection.
