A fun and dark horror anthology that lives up to its name. The authors of these horror shorts bring all types of range and darkness from the horror world. We have extreme horror, splatter, regular dark stories and just about any settings you can think of. Each story has a unique voice, and they definitely open you up to more authors to read in the future. They are short, quick reads in a book that isn't easy to put down.

The title is perfect for this as several stories are definitely WTF! It’s a great mix of different types of horror and some give you chills. Some extreme horror mixed in as well. It gives you a taste of different authors writing styles which is great and I’ve found a couple new authors that I want to read more of.

This is amazingly awesome book. I'll tell you each story keeps you on your toes. Though it is not for the faint of heart. But if you love horror like I do it's definitely something to read.
