This anthology presents a diverse buffet of 13 petrifying tales; the assortment will satisfy an array of appetites and were all written to perfection.The authors writing style has been very impressive and every tale provided vivid images within my mind’s eye that I haven’t fully shaken off yet. The tales brought up strong emotions that I haven’t felt in years and the adrenaline rush from my evening read kept me up for hours.I found “Rite of passage” to have the most frightening elements amongst the tales. The strong images that projected from the pages of Bobbys’ excursion, the entity and its past at Mercy House are still lingering in my head and fear still grips me.I thought “Closing Time”, “Roadkill”, “Under a racers moon” and “The mushroom man” uplifting.I also love the uniqueness of “Dog matters” and was intrigued by the use of language and the conversations among the characters bringing what is so familiar, now mysteriously intriguing.This tale offers Chippers’ loyalty, Minkes’ courage & an undesirable duty to protect her family from an ancient creature of evil intent.I highly recommend these dark tales to lovers of horror.
