Possessions: The Abject Horror of Ordinary Objects
It has been said that what is wrong with the world is that we use people and love things instead of the other way around. Well, what if things were using people? That question is answered within these pages. Here, we have fifteen authors who have probed their deepest fears to transport you into a world where the enemy has no face. It could be a phone, a book, a calendar or even a pair of shoes. When ordinary objects become something to fear, where can you ever be safe? We have met the enemy and it is our Possessions!

It is a good selection of stories from various unknown authors, but what held this back from being better was the fact that it was not professionally edited and it felt like a rushed project, despite having entertaining tales. My favorite was "A Call From Beyond" by D. A. DeCuzzi.

It looked like a rushed project by the publisher since the book wasn't edited at all, but a good selection of stories. My favorite is "A Call From Byond" by D.A. DeCuzzi.

I received a review copy of this book and overall enjoyed most of the stories. It’s well worth a read through.
An eclectic collection of eerie horror and some Lovecraft-like stories with a twist. Instead ordinary objects are the ones that are haunted.
Best stories include:
Bullet by Anthony Calhoun where the story is the POV of a bullet.
Victory Assured by C. L. Quigley about a "lucky" bottle cap used by soldiers from WWII
Smart Phone by Paul Loh (Who is also the editor.) Where a man with severe ADD is warned about future danger by his smartphone.
A Call from Beyond by D. A. DeCuzzi where a girl misses her beloved deceased grandpa.
2b or not 2b by Barb Lien-Cooper about a haunt pair of Doc Martens that brings trouble to whoever owns them.
