Great book at an amazing price

I bought this as a recommendation. For 99 cents I couldn't say no. Every story reels you in. Even though the theme of this book is survival, I must say I had fun reading this book (yes each story does have its intense moments too). I have to say I highly recommend reading this book. Great stories and an amazing price!

Keep an eye out for these up and coming authors!

All the stories in this collection are inventive, fun, and expertly crafted. The mood goes from terrifying to hilarious and back. I for one, will keep an eye out for future work from each one of these authors. Great work guys. This was a super fun read.

I've written before that anthologies are hard to rate. I generally rate each story and take the average. The majority of these stories are an easy 4. Thankfully, there were no one or twos in my opinion. My favorite story was the final piece: Favourite Son by Gab Halasz, but Thirsty by Jensen Reed was a close second.

I highly recommend this anthology for lovers of horror. These bite-size stories are perfect to get your adrenaline going.

*Heads-up warning: there is zombie-style cannibalism, animal harm and language if any of that bothers you.

An eye-brow raising collection of short creepy, crafty, fun reads.

Every story has something to satisfy every type of reader, who enjoys horror/survival stories. Especially the first story which has a killer plot twist that leaves you feeling shocked, and it was nice to find a plot twist like that after a long time.

I enjoyed the visual imagery that was crafted by the writers, and the different tones and styles that each story had.
