Dark Days Indeed

This was a series of vivid holiday tales of a darker quality. The authors wove the stories so expertly, I couldn't tell who wrote what. Creepy anthology, and I would definitely read another one by this duo.

Dark Days is a solid anthology with a fun holiday concept. The collection definitely delivers on its dark, moody tone, and a few stories stood out as especially memorable - my fave was St. Patrick's Day. While for ME, some of the entries didn’t quite land with the same impact, the overall experience was well worth the read. A great pick for anyone who enjoys short, shadowy tales that explore holiday darkness.

Thank you to Latrell and Ginny for the ARC copy. I liked the way you both took holiday traditions and turned them into something creepy and unsettling. The St. Patrick’s Day story was my favorite.

I want to thank the authors for allowing me to be an ARC reader. This holiday anthology kept me engaged and enthralled in the craziness of each story.
