Review: Consistently Creative Creature Tales
Rating: 4 out of 5

Although I'm not easily won over by anthologies, this is one I just couldn't quit reading. I normally prefer novels so I kept thinking that when I'd hit a story or two I didn't enjoy that I'd set this book aside and go back to reading novels BUT I was never disappointed from one story to the next. I basically was "stuck" reading this through to the end. Granted I'm a sucker for creature features but also I never came across a story I didn't find highly original or well-written and edited. I feel this is saying a lot for a kindle horror anthology.I most definitely have no connection to this anthology's editors or writers but I feel compelled to say that some of the low reviews here don't seem fair to this book at all. We all have different tastes but slamming a book that is creatively written that both the writers and editors have assembled in a professional manner seems very flippant and unfair to me. Especially with an anthology, if you can't be bothered to read all the stories or it isn't your cup of tea then I don't think it necessary to blast it with a one or two-star review while admitting you didn't get past the first few pages. This book clearly took months if not years to produce so I'd hope some reviewers could show some respect and try not to bash it so glibly.We are all entitled to our own opinions of course, but just saying.
