[Bryan Moyer · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is quite the collection of short stories. The kinds of horror are varied. The stories range from real-life horror situations that EMTs deal with to the trials of a person with dementia with a very brutal twist. There's more real-life horror in the form of a convenience store robbery gone wrong. Then, there's plenty of fantastical stories that deal with evil mermaids, twins with a dark and supernatural collection, and even a monster under a bed.

The pure variety of horror themes makes each story unique in the ways they can make you uncomfortable and even possibly afraid. I can honestly say that there wasn't a disappointing story for me. Myers' skill in weaving a compelling story is on full display, making this a perfectly enjoyable read.

This book is a collection of stories written by Jason Myers. Each story was creepy and spooky and a few were gory. I think it has something for everybody. You have stories that range from a Creepy house, a guy with a maniacal laugh, ex coworker out for revenge, identical twin brothers with a unique sense, a wife that thinks she’s the Grim Reaper, and more. As I’m reading the stories, which ever one I was on, my mind would vividly play out in my head even down to the littlest detail. Every time I told myself that I was going to read one more story and then go to sleep, I would just keep reading because they were so good.

True to its genre, but not the tales I seek. Worth a read and a notable author to keep an eye on.

I read tales to escape the realities of this world; seeking supernatural over realism. But these tales do indeed invoke a horror in the reader.
