## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A good collection for a great cause.
  

*by S***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2016*

I enjoyed a lot of the stories in this collection.  It is a veritable powerhouse of modern horror authors.  Brian Keene, Joe Lansdale, and Tim Waggoneer to name just a few have contributed stories to this anthology.  As with all short story collections, some of them are really good and some are not.  I only found myself bored/unsatisfied with two or three stories, which given the number of tales gathered is not bad at all.  If you enjoy a wide range of horror stories and styles, then this collection is a perfect fit for you.

    Horrific Stories for a Great Cause
  

*by B***Y on Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2014*

Who better to raise money for the Children's Literacy Initiative than readers and writers? I imagine if they had a dime for all the times we've laughed and cried, gone to places far away, been too scared to sleep without a light on, fallen in love (or lust), learned something we didn't know, or a host of other things that reading has given us over the course of our lives, every child in the country, and beyond, would have books and resources to instill a lifelong love and practice of reading. Showing both dedication and generosity, the authors contributed top notch stories for this anthology.Some of what's inside-Joe Lansdale tells the story of a very bad entity with a love of razors and a taste for blood.Christopher Golden's story is about Teddy, a young boy whose father was killed in Korea. He comes home from school one day to see the spector of a gunfighter entering his house. Teddy doesn't know it yet but he's going to be in for the biggest fight of his young life."Haven", by Kealan Patrick Burke, has a young man named Tommy coming home to bury his mother. Spending time in the abusive home he grew up in isn't going to go as he expected. Not at all.In "Dealing With Mama Lila" by Sandy Deluca, a dead husband, a gypsy curse and an angry ex mother-in-law make life difficult for a widow."Obedient Flies" by Greg F. Gifune blew me away. What you think you know, you don't, and what you don't know will shock you. This was a very dark surprise."Cannonball Lycanthrope" by Janet Joyce Holden illustrates how the changing seasons can sometimes be murder.In Mary Sangiovanni's "Letting Go", a man's memories of a lifetime of misdeeds haunt him. Literally."Shadow Chaser" by Simon Wood. A man's murderous half tries to force a reunion and ends up setting him on a new mission."Dance of the Blue Lady" by Gene O'Neill is a beautiful poignant story about love, loss and magic.I enjoyed all of the stories in this large collection. Spirits, zombies, werewolves, good people, bad people, and much more....there's something for everyone.

    Wanted to like this anthology...
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2016*

I've read many anthologies... Some better than others; but I was truly disappointed with this one.A few of the stories were actually quite good but seem to be more like chapters of bigger stories.  I hate investing myself in a short story, to be completely engaged, and to be left hanging at the end.  So many of the stories had that feel...unfortunately.The one story that stands apart from the rest is GORD ROLLO's offering.  That was a MUST READ!!!!  That story deserves more than 5 stars....excellent!
