Another great bunch of stories and I think this is the best anthology in the Elements of Horror anthologies, so far. Terrifying tales which will keep you on the edge of your seat. It was hard to pick a favourite, but I would say The Birth of Queen Rat, The Flames of Hell are Coming, and Watching the Flames (I'm a big fan of R.C.Rumple) are in the top for me. Highly recommended.

Third book in the Elements of Horror series. This one included some of the best stories of the series so far. Stand-outs include Did the Fire Look At You? and The Fire Fades. There were also a couple of stories that weren't quite up to the standard of this series, though certainly good enough for most anthologies.

Towards the end there was just one of the dreaded present tense stories and it finished off with a serial killer story, which is not my preferred sub-genre of Horror. I just can't identify with getting my jollies from burning someone to death. It was well-written, just not my cuppa.

The series has overall been way above average and the best stories in this one are really, really excellent. One of them left me just staring into space after finishing. I'm very much looking forward to the 4th book, Water, coming out in December. These go on my re-read shelf.

This anthology was fantastic! Even the one story which almost made me throw my phone across the room, was fantastic!
The editors have brought together a varied collection of stories that all have something in them that makes them rather unique.

Please check it out, folks!

Like several of the stories the previous books in this series had, some of these weren't "horror" stories. I liked most of them and they were interesting and pretty original. I would hate to die by fire.

this was a fiery entry in the Elements of Horror series, it had what I enjoyed from the previous two books. Each story was what I was looking for and I enjoyed how good each book gets.

I received a free copy of this book via Red Cape Reviews and am voluntarily leaving a review.
