About the author

Gothic horror lover Cassandra L. Thompson has been creating stories since she got her grubby little hands around a pen. When she is not busy managing a house full of feral children (human and canine) with her beloved husband, you can find her wandering around cemeteries, taking pictures of abandoned things, or in the library researching her latest obsession. She has a B.A. in History and an MLIS, but she ignores her degrees to focus on writing and running Quill & Crow Publishing House, both of which require copious amounts of coffee and Crows.

Reviews

[Matthew · Rating 5 out of 5]

While I do have a short story in this anthology, my review will tackle most of the others. These stories are some of my absolute favorites from the sprawling collection Quill and Crow has unleashed upon the world. Bittersweet end to an era of anthologies, but this collection wraps everything back up and gives some insight into not just the anthologies but Q&C too.

From Mathew L Reyes story, a Romeo and Juliet re-telling that still made my jaw drop. Damon Barret Ro's campfire story that made me both nostalgic for sitting around a campfire with friends to being downright afraid of it. All of them, really, are stellar reads, and this is an anthology everyone needs.
