Review: Flashes Of Darkness - An anthology of Horror Flash Fiction curated by Patrick McNulty
Sixty amazing horror flash fiction stories that were winners (and Grand Prize winners) in Patrick's Horror Flash Fiction contest from last year, and I'm lucky enough to have been one of those Grand Prize winners but, although I have a story in this anthology, my review is based on the overall book and the stories within.
What I like about books like this is that you can read them when you have a few spare minutes during a work break, on your daily commute, or even on the toilet🤣 as each story is Flash fiction, i.e. a 1000 words or less, and there are sixty of these super fast reads within.
Although each monthly contest had a theme, each story has a unique perspective on that theme, and there are some amazing authors within this collection.
Highly recommended.
Five out of five horrific skulls 💀💀💀💀💀
