Tales by Candlelight
This is the second in the new anthology series Stories to make you Shudder.Short stories have always had a place in our lives. Whether it was reading comics as a child, watching TV shows like Twilight Zone, Tales of the Unexpacted or The Outer Limits, or indeed telling stories to friends and family. Everyone has a story to tell that sends shivers down the spine.There were two anthology series of books popular during my childhood, The Pan book of Horror Stories and The Fontana Book of Ghost Stories. This collection takes inspiration from those. Some of the tales are of the supernatural variety, while others belong most definitely in the horror category. But each are best read by candlelight.

I received a free copy of this book through Voracious Readers Only, but my opinion is my own.
As I read this little book, I was thrown back to when I was a child, reading unsettling stories in a paperback anthology that I used to think absolutely terrifying. This is an earnest collection of tale-as-old-as-times tropes repackaged in a way that is refreshing and genuinely compelling, with some very good short stories. I rather think this will be a book I break out around Hallowe'en to read yearly!

I got a free copy of this book via Voracious Reader Only in exchange for an honest review
I thought this was an interesting set of stories. They were creepy and sparked emotions in me. If your looking for a set of sort horror stories, this is for you.

A great mix of classic ghost stories and various supernatural topics
