Easily one of the best and most varied anthologies I've ever had the pleasure of reading.

I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a sharp collection of horror stories that runs the gamut of all types of horror. As in all anthologies, there are some stories that are better than others, but other all, this was a pretty good collection. The stand-out story for me was probably Drawn by Daniel L. Naden.

I may be a little bit biased (one of my stories, "The House That Sang", is in here) but I really rate this collection.
It's difficult for an anthology to get rave reviews, there are usually one or two stories that don't quite hit the mark in respect of reader's tastes - and as everyone's tastes are different, those stories are going to differ accordingly. But this collection has such a high standard of technique and imagination I find it difficult not to give it five stars.
On top of that, it just feels so nice to hold....
