I have to say that "From Darkness" managed to be far more chilling and eerily haunting than I first thought it would be. So much so, that I ended up enjoying it to the point that as soon as I finished it I went off to look and see if the author had written anything else (which sadly he hasn't). D.R. Gordon has a way of weaving a tale that suspends the mind and captivates the imagination in intriguing ways, sucking you into the story with vivid imagery, twisting and turning plots, and sharp dialogue that really sets the tone.The collection of horror stories each had a unique theme from modern day partygoers who find themselves giving up far more than they expected (or wanted) to dark period horror stories that really reminded me of the original dark Grimm's Fairy Tales that always sent chills down your spine. The collection as a whole is well written with the perfect amount of drama, fear and suspense mixed in that by the end of the book you'll be equal parts terrified and entertained by the author's writing.Overall, I had a lot of fun reading this and would definitely recommend the anthology collection to readers looking to sink their teeth into some creepy and chilling horror stories.
