This is an incredible anthology featuring stories by Jared Grace, DE McCluskey, Laura Bilodeau, D.L. Winchester, David Hardy, Brennan LaFaro, Rob Bilodeau, William Joseph, and Timothy King. The stories follow horror through the ages, from the 1800’s all the way through to the 3000’s. Each story is very different, but thoroughly enjoyable. My absolute favourite was Clockwork by D.L. Winchester, about a man starting a new position as a night watchman at a clock factory - I loved the outcome of the mystery! I also really enjoyed Amaze Your Friends, Terrify Your Enemies by Brendan LaFaro, about a boy awaiting his mail-order ghost for show and tell. Then there’s Bottles and Bruises by Laura Bilodeau, My Last Day at Willow Creek High by William Joseph, The Beating Heart of Colony Three by Timothy King - okay, there just isn’t a story I didn’t like! Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed this ARC, but I have a soft spot for Anthros lol
One of my best reading memories is realizing when I was younger that Anthros means multiple authors, and that means I can buy one whole book, and find MORE authors I will also love, and I never turned back.
If you don't read anthros you are missing such a good chance to find new to you things to read!
There were so many good ones but I think my top two were
Clockwork by D.L. Winchester
Starting a new job is nerve wracking, but starting in a uh clock factory, as a night shift guard, the ending, perfection.
Tied for first place in my little reader heart is
Amaze Your Friends, Terrify Your Enemies by Brendan LaFaro
I have really really enjoyed his work lately, there is just something fun but horrifying about it and this story hit . It made me think of all those times I sat by the mailbox waiting for that mail order scholastic thing or cereal box toy.
In this we have a kid that is waiting on a mail order ghost, be it a toy or real, he wants to show it off at school for "show and tell" depending on what he gets, there could be loads to tell.
I loved this collection, and I really had to think to pick two, if I tell you about all of them, what's left for you to read??
Check this out, easy 5 stars for this one.

A quick and occasionally twisted horror anthology that I really enjoyed reading! I think my favorite stories were Amaze your friends, terrify your enemies by Brennan LaFaro because who doesn’t love a good ghost story and My Last Day at Willow Creek High by William Joseph I appreciated the trigger warning, it was bone chilling and heart wrenching!

I love reading anthologies with authors. I don't know. You may find your new favorite. This was a great anthology. From the 1800s to year 3000, each story is unique and thrilling.
A few favorites were...
Bottle and Bruises by Laura Bilodeau
1920 -1940. “Men are nicotine soaked, beer besmirched, whiskey greased, red eyed devils.” You will literally be hooked by the first line.
The Beating Heart of Colony Three – Timothy King (3000’s) was my absolute favorite. It's was creepy and horrifying... he captured horror in space in a way that will give you chills.
9 horrifying tells. I also want to mention that the artwork in the beginning by Brayden was absolutely gorgeous.
The title of this book could not have been better... for horror is timeless.

Excellent anthology of horror stories through the ages. Excellent writing from an amazing contingent of authors

"Timeless" contains nine wild and entertaining horror stories by easily recognizable indie author names, all revolving around the theme of horror's impact and persistence throughout history. Needless to say, it builds on its premise in many different and wonderful ways, delivering original, thrilling, and occasionally shocking, stories, each one drawing satisfyingly on the mood and the atmosphere of the historical era it's set in.
The opening story, "Cody" by Jared Grace, takes place in the 1800s, and is one of those creature feature stories that lull you into believing that what's going on is sweet and lovely, when all along something terrible is really happening. Each of the next three stories belongs to a different twenty-year period of the 20th century: DE McCluskey's "Earth Stood Hard As Iron, Water Like A Stone" combines erotic art with the grotesque to tell an early 20th century revenge tale unlike any other; "Bottles and Bruises" by Laura Bilodeau offers a story of female empowerment during the Great Depression, with a sober (excuse the pun!) and sad ending; D.L. Winchester "Clockwork" is a creepy tale about a guy with a limp working as a warehouse watchman during WWII - and discovering a truth about grandfather clocks noone suspected. The following stories handle a decade each: "What a Trip" by David Hardy is a superb tale about Woodstock, very much in the right spirit of the times, with an incredibly unexpected ending; Hardy's story was one of my favorites, though I'm not 100% sure what happened in the end; it was trippy, man! "Amaze Your Friends, Terrify Your Enemies" by Brennan LaFaro is the quintessential 1970s tale about those advertisements on the back cover of a comic issue, promising wonders; a boy responds, and the ad delivers - just not what the little man thought he'd ordered! LaFaro's story has the best ending in the volume! "What’s to Come" by Rob Bilodeau (yes, they're related) is another favorite: seemingly about the Gulf War, it manages to throw a genuinely troubling light on what kind of people may end up taking part in the war - and why. William Joseph's "My Last Day at Willow Creek High" starts with a trigger warning list, since it takes its inspiration from the well-known phenomenon of gun violence in schools; I personally did not enjoy it, and while reading it, I felt uncertain what the point of such a story was - isn't the horror of the phenomenon itself enough to disturb and unsettle anyone contemplating it? Joseph, however, maintained a respectful stance throughout, ending with some sort of ambiguity worth thinking about. I'd recommend the story for its thought-provoking aspects, not so much for the horror elements within. Timothy King' with "The Beating Heart of Colony Three" goes overboard and sets his story in the far future of the 3000’s: it's a decent sci-fi horror story, expertly hitting all the right spots. The anthology ends with notes by the editor on the authors.
Overall, the anthology compellingly shows that horror fiction, whatever the time period, has a natural place to occupy, and if handled right, it won't ever dissappoint. Recommended!

This wonderful horror anthology comes from the minds of Jared Grace(who was the kind soul who sent me an ARC copy to read/review honestly), D.E. McCluskey, Laura Bilodeau, D.L, Winchester, Brennan LaFaro, David Hardy, Timothy King, William Joseph, and Rob Bilodeau.
This is a masterful collection that weaves chilling tales across different eras, capturing the evolution of horror storytelling while exploring the darkest corners of human nature. Each story immerses readers in a distinct historical period, blending rich atmosphere with timeless fears that transcend generations. I’ve always been a sucker for a real good anthology, honestly. I love getting a list taste of writing from a wide range of writers and I love that this one highlighted newer horror authors for me.
Timeless does a wonderful job illustrating how horror has evolved while remaining a powerful vehicle for exploring humanity’s collective nightmares. Whether you’re drawn to ghost stories, supernatural folklore, or psychological suspense, Timeless offers something to unsettle and captivate every reader.
Solid 4/5 stars, will read again.

WOW, just wow!
“There has always been something to be afraid of.”
Timeless is such a compelling collection of stories. Each story is rooted in the timeless nature of fear, spanning different eras.
Every single story was a 5⭐️ read (special shoutout to Cody by Jared Grace) for me. Despite featuring multiple authors Timeless maintains a very strong thematic coherence. The way each story blended, and followed the same idea that horror is a constant in human history, is something I won’t be able to easily let go of. This book is well-crafted and has something for casual horror readers or hardcore horror readers, there’s psychological horror, supernatural creatures and disgusting body horror, there truly is something to unsettle each reader. It is immersive, engaging and chilling.
I have read many anthology books and I haven’t seen this many different writing styles able to come together and create something that flows so beautifully.
This book is definitely going to end up taking a lot of space in my brain for the next few months.

In this anthology you'll travel through the ages as you read horrifying tales wrote by 9 amazing authors. You'll begin in the 1800's and end in the year 3000. If you want proof that horror is Timeless check out this anthology. My favorites were the stories by Laura bilodeau and Timothy king. But the others weren't to far behind.

I loved the premise of this anthology, horror through the ages. There always has been and always will be something to fear. Along with horror through time we're also taken to various sub genres from horrors in the everyday to horror in the cosmos. These nine authors with various and unique views on horror make a great book that I can see myself returning to. I loved this book and highly recommend it.
February 28, 2025
This is my favorite kind of anthology! Some of the best short horror stories I’ve ever read by some of the greatest Indie horror authors today. Each story had a twist I didn’t see coming and blew me away time and time again.
March 27, 2025
I loved this great collection of horror stories , each of the authors had an entertaining Stories to read. I love the premises of the anthology and each story was set in different times so I thought that was amazing and overall was a great read.

I just finished the Timeless anthology. I really enjoyed this collection of stories that showed fear always has been and always will be a part of society. My three favorite were by DE McCluskey - I loved this dark and twisted story, Timothy King Author, and Laura Bilodeau. They were a great mix of stories that spanned from gory to strange while also adding the fun aspect of being period pieces. I highly recommend this collection.
April 15, 2025
This was an amazing ride. Each story in this anthology was a different time period. And each story was amazing. I would read full sized novels of any of them. There was a little bit of everything in this all the way to space mormons. Which honestly was my selling point. Definitely worth checking out.

Great concept for an anthology (the authors all tackle a different decade and the book is structured so that we move chronologically through them), and I enjoyed each of the stories for different reasons. The authors did a good job of representing their time period through their themes and characters, and it was overall an entertaining read.

Great concept for an anthology - the authors each tackle a different time period and the stories are laid out in chronological order. I enjoyed all them all!
