This collection is a 'combo' of different terrors you can enjoy: psychopaths, apocalypse, gore and paranormal. It makes me think of the tales you hear when you're a little kid, which terrify your nights and steal your sleep. Four stories completely different, all of them disturbing in their own way.
I never spoil a book, but I can say this. The first one is shuddering, you get to hyperventilate when you're following the horror those witnesses expose. The second one, ah, love, how deep and insane. You really shouldn't betray the wrong one... The third story draws an apocalyptic scenario, but not the regular one. You'll find yourself lost in... Hell itself?
That said, Clark closes the collection with a very beautiful, sharp one. "The Eternal Journey" has been, perhaps because I'm a nostalgic, my favourite one.
The author shows the proper skills to jump from one subgenre to another since he's now demolishing, loving afterwards, gore at the end. Always with winks and little smirks for the reader. I would say, a perfect little read for a horror aficionado.

This book got me out of a reading slump. It is a collection of 4 short stories that are as well written, imaginative and unpredictable as they are unsettling, descriptive and gory. The first two stories did a fantastic job of churning my stomach - definitely not for the squeamish and faint of heart but it was the last tale that is my favourite. Absolutely loved the book and I highly recommend it.

A few gruesome tale
A short collection of gruesome tales that were drawn out. Am not against gruesome stories or horror but this book was not for me. I would have liked it better if the stories had not dragged on at the expense of the practicality of the plot.

I still have goosebumps.
Had to keep putting it down and taking a breather.
Warning: When you read it at night, you will hear every bump and creak in your house... lol

Good collection
Nice collection of short horror. They were all pretty good but my favorite by far was the last one. Even though I was sure I knew what going to happen, it still gave me chills. Worth it for that story alone.

"A fun read! Lots of the dread combined with the the scary to make for fun read if that is your sort of fun! It is mine! Plots were well developed, action was succinct and all in all a fun read!"

Eerie tales
Out of all the tales in the series, I enjoyed reading Till Death. The tale was haunting. The other tales were good.

A small collection of short stories. All written well. My favourite was Till Death. Not a bad story in the bunch though. Creepy and intriguing.

I'm trying to erase the images in my head that this book painted. If grotesque, graphic writing is your thing, you're in for a ride, literally. Read at your own risk, but he aware, you will experience nightmares. Sleep with the lights on!
