Three dead women with three very different tales to tell. BRANDO AND BAD CHOICES by Stacey Longo A vain woman learns firsthand if there’s an afterlife . . . and if one can find redemption, even in Hell. STEEL by Tony Tremblay A young woman leads a group of survivors in a dangerous, dystopian world. THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT by Rob Smales A mother-in-law explains how a holiday tradition got its decidedly spiritual start. “ . . . a creepy yet heartfelt collection of horror and suspense that is entirely worth reading. Five out of five blood-spattered stars.” ~ Jeanette Andromeda, horrormade.com "The ingredients in these three tales form a rich stew with a bit of something for an unexpectedly spirited Christmas, a taste of post-apocalyptic treachery, and a view of hell that'll make you careful what you wish for. Eat hearty!" ~ Melissa Crandall, author of WEATHERCOCK and DARLING WENDY AND OTHER STORIES If you liked DIFFERENT SEASONS, you'll love THE TERROR PROJECT, VOL. 1.

Really enjoyed all 3 stories! Definitely all very different and all make you think. I like to think "how would i react in this situation" and this book Definitely had me thinking!
The first one was terrifying, with a moralistic angle. The second story was great, a unique apocalyptic situation. The third was definitely spooky and also charming in a way.
Props to Tony Tremblay, I can always count on his stories to be spooky and in the company of other uncanny tales.
This was a terrific weekend read! Each story captivating in its own right. Three dead women , three stories coalesced into a great read for the Christmas Holidays ~ read my full review at http://buttonholed.blogspot.com/
