    Horror Short Story Collection

    A Sliver of Darkness by C.J. Tudor – REVIEW

    November 2, 2022 / 2 Comments

    A Sliver of Darkness is C.J. Tudor’s inaugural short story collection. I’ve always said that short story collections are always going to be difficult to rate. You’re not going to love every single story, but if at least a few resonate within you, then it’s a win. I’ve not had the opportunity to read Tudor’s work previously, I know, please don’t come for me! I will be changing that pronto. Each story was complex and atmospheric, and it didn’t take much for me to envisage myself in the protagonist’s shoes, it’s safe to say every story was fully immersive. A Sliver of Darkness feels a little like a treasure map…

    The Lament of the Silver Badger by Oli Jacobs | Review

    December 29, 2020 / No Comments

    The Lament of the Silver Badger is a collection of horror short stories by Oli Jacobs.  Once again, the author has knocked it out of the mother-fucking park!  I’ve read more than a few short story collections of late and can hand on heart say that this is the best one I’ve read to date.  Let me just clarify my feelings and thoughts during my read of this awesome collection. WHAT THE HELL? WHAT DID I JUST READ? IT’S COMING, ITS TOTALLY COMING NO WAY… THAT CAN’T BE THE END!! THIS IS AWESOME These were my thoughts while reading Oli Jacob’s highly imaginative short story collection.  You know you’ve found…

    What’s Coming for You by Joshua Rex | Book Review

    December 19, 2020 / 1 Comment

    What’s Coming for You epitomises the things that go bump in the night.  It’s that creeping chill down a spine, a spiralling sense of unease but they are so addictive that you just have to keep reading, you need to know what shocks and horrors await you.  I’ve found that horror short story collections can be either hit or miss.  There’s going to be stories you love and some that you don’t like as much.  I was pleasantly surprised Joshua Rex’ super creepy tales of puberty gone wrong, the dead calling out and items of clothing sucking the life out of its wearer.  A gasp, a break, eyes bulging outward. …

    Nightmare Asylum & Other Deadly Delights by Sonia Kilvington & Craig Douglas | Review

    October 19, 2020 / 3 Comments

    Anyone that has stuck around long enough knows that horror is my favourite genre, and I will lap up anything that is creepy, haunted, or plain dark.  I love a good horror short story collection and the opportunity to review this was an extremely exciting prospect.  There are eighteen stories in all, and they all fall within the realms of horror, thriller, and suspense.  I always think it’s especially hard to review a collection of stories because there is always going to be ones you love and ones that don’t mould particularly well with your tastes.  Nightmare Asylum was a good selection, and it was a fun ride! That beauty,…

    Leash and Other Horror Stories by Brett Schumacher | Review

    September 19, 2020 / 2 Comments

    When I spotted Leash and Other Horror Stories up for grabs for review, I could have chewed their hand off!  I am a subscriber to Brett’s awesome YouTube channel and I just couldn’t wait to get my grubby mitts on this seriously creepy horror anthology.  This collection of deviously good stories warrants the shouting that I’m about to do!  His narrative style is both mind-blowing and wickedly disturbing in equal measures and it immediately transports you into the depths of his orchestrated shadows – it’s terrifying and bone chilling.  I’m a huge fan and I gobbled this up just as fast as I would a cake! Leash had a paradoxical…
