Disclaimer: I have a story published in this anthology, however I am reviewing based on the other stories only.
My own story in this anthology is an urban legend-come-haunting, and it would be so easy for this anthology to be nothing more than ghost stories, but instead we find a series of chilling tales ranging from dark fiction to outright horror exploring the many ways we can be horrified without the presence of blood.
Given that these aren't all just ghost stories, there is a real range here for everyone to enjoy, and I found all of them engaging. That said, I did have some personal favourites, probably the ones that have stayed with me the most - haunting me since I put the book down.
The more I flick back through the book the more I realise I like so many of them so much, and will definitely reread again and again. But the top picks for me (personally) include the chilling Bird Bones by Sophia Snyder, and the achingly and hauntingly beautiful Swallowtail by Bri Cozier and Hands by Vanessa Santos.
Another great anthology from this fantastic little press!
