[Heather Faville · Rating 4 out of 5]

There are those in life who believe there is a dark side within everyone and we should embrace the darkness. Dark Things: A Horror Anthology edited by Jessy Marie Roberts is just the book for the people wanting to take hold of their innermost demon and give him…or her a squeeze. This collection of horror stories is filled with murders, cults, demons out to steal your soul, evil children and much more madness. Dark Things takes you to the brink of madness and then leaves you dangling on the edge.

The tales withing the pages of Dark Things: A Horror Anthology all lean toward the dark and disturbing, but each have their very own uniqueness. Readers will find out what happens when you mess with nature, that there ARE monsters under your bed and not all fairy tales have happy endings. Each story is just as dark and disturbing as the next with some even going as far as to tug on the heartstrings of sympathy.
