Dark, Twisted, Gruesome. Intriguing Page Turner! An Awesome Read! I Loved It!

This was my first read from some of these authors, and I must say, they brought their A-game! I don't normally read horror, but I decided to step out of my comfort zone, and try something new. I am truly happy that I did, because this book was amazing. The characters jump off the page, and scared the fool out of me. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes a thrilling ride, a good horror story, or just want to step out of the box.
I'm truly looking forward to reading more from these authors in the future!

Where do I begin. I must say that I am in no way, shape or fashion a horror buff but, I am fond of a an awesome book that's different. This compilation of stories are written by some amazing authors. Omar Tyree, Kenya Moss-Dyme, Sentu Taylor, and D.K. Mason produced a group of short stories that are definitely worth reading. Omar's tells us what happens when you play scientist and experiment with bath salts; Kenya tackles the beast of chemotherapy; Sentu addresses the issues of the homeless; and D.K. shows us what happens when souls are not allowed to rest. This book is definitely a page turner and each story has it's own flavor but, what I loved the most were the messages that each author intertwined within their story. Omar address the difficulties of raising a child alone. Sentu gives us a compassionate portrayal of what life can be like for those who are homeless. Kenya takes us on the roller coaster ride of chemotherapy and all of it's side effects while D.K. shows demonstrates how rejection from family, envy, and holding grudges can do to a community of people. This book kept me intrigued and is definitely a 5 star page turner. Please purchase on Amazon today.

I enjoyed this collection of urban horror. While the anthology needed a bit more editorial work, each of the stories was intriguing in their own right. The level of terror is high, with nothing vague about the scares in each story. This work has it all, zombies, demons, a different type of vampires and even a ghost story. Definitely worth checking out!!!

This is a collection of 4 horror stories. As is typical of any collection of stories, you probably won't love them all, but overall these were good horror fiction. I loved the first story, while the second one was not to my liking. The third one was a great ghost story while the fourth one was a fun zombie read. Quick and entertaining collection that I am glad I came across!
