Charity Horror Anthology

Dark Places, Evil Faces is Volume 2 in this Horror and Dark Suspense anthology series. Including works of fiction by Clive Barker, Ramsey Campbell, Graham Masterton, Joe R. Lansdale, Jack Ketchum and many more. All the proceeds raised from the sale of this book will be donated to Rethink Mental Illness.

I don’t get to write a proper review of this anthology because I am the editor. However, I will say that it was a great pleasure to be the editor for this amazing collection of authors and stories. The passion that each of the writers put into their work is moving and their enthusiasm for the project was humbling. The stories range from dark and haunting to psychological horror to extreme horror with a bit of everything in between. Really there is only one extreme horror story and it is a doozie. I enjoyed it.

Included are stories by two authors who are no longer with us, each with a tribute introduction by one close to them. Also included is an illustration introduction for each story by Joe Young. This is a massive collection of incredible work by many wonderful writers from around the globe.

All of the work has been donated for the cause, Rethink Mental Illness. Buy a copy for the cause and enjoy these timeless works for years to come.

I don’t really write reviews but I knew I had to write one for this. Every story in this anthology stuck with me and one even made me gag. Horror at its finest, short and sweet.

This was a pretty good collection of stories. There were only two that I really didn't like.

Amazing

The last story for me. I felt his pain over his mother and I wanted justice for him. I was glad his father got that ending.

Probably not the best thing to be reading late at night with the world as crazy as it is at the moment. The short stories in this anthology are thought provoking, cringey and horrific, as they should be. I highly recommend because the dark places are indeed full of evil faces.

Fulfilling collection!

This anthology, "Dark Places, Evil Faces" is one of the best collections of a wide variety of horror....there's something to be found for everyone. Ghost stories, stories of the horror created solely by humans, a dabble of the supernatural boogeyman. You're guaranteed to find more than one story that will creep you out and raise the hair on the back of your neck as you're reading. Enjoy!

Definitely a must read

Really great mix of stories. I definitely recommend this to anyone who loves a great mix of horror stories. They are well written and will keep you engrossed from the beginning to the end.

This was a strange one - I bought it because I loved the first one to pieces, but this is a jumbled mess, and I take it; riding on the success of the first (cause that was awesome, and surely I am not the only one who thought that). This collection is all over the spectrum, and not all the stories are horror. It is like either the short story is really good, or really lame, there is no in between. And I would say that it's half and half. Is it worth reading? Sure, you get a good amount of stories for your money and as I said, the good ones are real good. I would recommend it, just don't expect it to be as good as the first, even if this one have way more acknowledged authors.

Great horror anthology

I would say this is one of the best horror anthologies I have read. Most are hit and miss with the stories but this one did a great job of choosing good writers and interesting stories.

This book was so lame, couldn’t even finish it. Every story seemed to have the same premise, not scary, pure unadulterated shit. Did add an extra ⭐️ for Rethink Mental Illness.

Great short stories!

For anyone who likes a story before bed..this is the perfect one! Each story gets your imagination going and makes you feel like your in the room with the characters

2020 reading challenge ( Anthology). This book was kinda awesome. The intro got me in the perfect mindset to journey into these stories. I absolutely loved some of the stories. And others were just okay. A few bordered too much into scyfy for my tastes. But that's how it is with any Anthology. This is the kind of book that you can't go wrong with. I did skip two stories after reading them about halfway through... But that's okay because it was such a long book so it still felt worthwhile.

Surprisingly good collection. I probably liked most of the stories here. Of course, there were I few I didn't really care for. My favs include Resonant Evil by Graham Masterton, Ain't Nothing Free by Lex H. Jones, Just Waiting by Ramsey Campbell, Brownie by Myk Pilgrim, and Bully by Jack Ketchum.

Nice anthology

A well compiled collection of dark tales that lived up to volume I. The book is a standalone, that may be read without reading volume I. Available on kindle unlimited!

[Keith · Rating 4 out of 5]

Usual mix of stories but this time mainly good ones. There was only one that I gave up on but the rest are all good and short ways to pass the time.

[Alan · Rating 2 out of 5]

Another typical anthology where some of the early stories are good, as was one of the very last ones, but the remainder ranged from forgettable to just not good.

[Jonathan · Rating 4 out of 5]
