In fact, page for page, this is probably the best horror anthology-no, the best short story anthology, if not anthology period-that I've ever come across. As a result, I'm often reluctant to pick them up, and that might have been especially true here, where I knew a number of the authors and feared what I'd say if I didn't at least enjoy the collection as a whole. So often, I find the themes or short stories become repetitive-fast-or showcase only a few standouts among a host of stories that clearly don't live up to the standards set by those few among the many. "The Lai of the Danse Macabre" by Jessica Peter Read moreĪnthologies are often hit or miss for me. "The Lady of Leer Castle" by Christopher O'Halloran "The Final Book of Sainte Foy's Miracles" by M.E. "In Thrall to This Good Earth" by Hailey Piper Including a lineup of authors both established and emerging, HOWL Society Press presents the first-ever anthology of historical horror from the medieval period, fittingly introduced by the writer who arguably started it all: Christopher Buehlman, author of the medieval horror epic Between Two Fires. Each tortured scribe will bring you face to face with ancient horrors lurking in cursed castles, wild woodlands, haunted hamlets, and mysterious monasteries. It is time to dig.Uncover the secret annals of untold history in these eighteen medieval manuscripts. A paranormal cremator in search of a friend.and other choice cuts from the mind of Donnie Goodman. The debut of a mysterious indie wrestler. A crabbing voyage that descends into chaos. Scars are not a sign of where we have healed, they are a reminder of what we have buried beneath the skin: A talking toaster. “It’s time to dig” into these wild tales! If you are looking for a little variety in your horror reads, pick this up! You will not be disappointed. Goodman throws in a little of everything for the reader. I have never experienced a more wildly diverse collection of stories in all my years of reading. Professional wrestling? Yup, that's in here too This collection of short stories has a little of everything, for every type of horror lover: Somehow, the artist managed to portray the feel of these stories and managed to grab my attention before I even downloaded the e-book. The intricate details in each portion of the cover represents a different story in this collection. To start right of the bat, the cover art for this book had me hooked from the day of its release.
