Rayne Hall has put together a great collection of horror books. I'm not one who usually reads many horror stories. I am more into horror movies but I as a reader seriously felt like I was within a horror movie just reading some of these short stories.
There were 3 specific stories that stuck out the most to me and left me on the edge of my seat.
The first story I really enjoyed was FAMILY HEIRLOOM. I hope to never come across an item that does what the kris did in this story. To even think such an object existed just makes me skin crawl. Pamela Turner did a great job with this story and she kept me interested.
The second story I enjoyed was DEATH COMES FOR MAGGIE MCDANIEL. Little did I know she was dead the entire time. It would really suck to be stuck in between our world and the world of the dead. To know you can see your loved ones but they can't see nor touch you is truly a horror in itself. Grayson Bray Morris left me on the edge of my seat for this one.
The third story I enjoyed was CREATURES OF THE NIGHT. Definitely a different kind of story and the writer was very detailed in what they wrote. They kinda made me laugh in the beginning of the tale but ended up creeping me out by the end.
All of the stories in this book are great in my opinion. These 3 were the ones that stuck out the most. If you like variety in your horror stories along with several different writers, this is definitely the book for you.
