The last story is engaging, urgent, even potential in our world of today. The rest of the stories leave a little to the desire of the reader. Those in the earliest parts of the book are rather disjointed and have no unity of purpose, seemingly, other than to publicize that author. Other anthologies I have read have some cohesive aspects, or are essays into the mind of the writer. Too many writers are represented in this anthology. I give the author A for effort, but B overall. I loved the last story which I think could become a novel with some intensive work. Still an enjoyable read. No read I ever undertake is not.

I always love most, if not all of the stories in this author's anthologies. This one had a few that I really found confusing but so many of the stories were so good it did not matter to me. I expect a few weird stories in an anthology so that's why I give this book the same 5 star for greatness!

What a horrific collection of viruses, illnesses and other afflictions. Some of these stories make me hope I never have to go to another doctor in the near future...lol Well done to all the authors who contributed these compelling and chilling stories to this anthology.

As a contributor to this anthology, I'm not going to give it a star rating, but I wanted to share some of my thoughts.

The theme for this anthology is medial horror. It contains stories with blood, gore, suspense, malicious doctors, and crazed experiments. Everything you need to convince you to go to your next checkup.

My short story, "Dream Come True" is featured in this anthology.

Two of my personal favorites in this book were Jace Fox's "Black Friday" and Samie Sands's "Outbreak" which is a short from her AM13 Outbreak Series: Books 1-3. Both are the perfect amount of creepy and unsettling.

There are many other interesting stories in this anthology, each with their own unique plot and voice. Nice creepy collection for those looking for stories to make their skin crawl.
