3.0
I received an ARC of this book thanks to NetGalley and publisher Pricks Like Thorn media in exchange for an honest review.
I've read quite a lot of horror anthologies recently. I'm going to be honest, this one didn't really stand out. That might seem harsh but it's not necessarily a bad thing. The stories in this collection for the most part were fine. Some were really good-Kill Your Darlings for example is a fantastic story about an author who pushes the whole 'write what you know' thing too far. Still Born was a heart-breaking and chilling tale about a couple dealing with the title topic. But putting those two aside, the other stories in this collection are just sort of all right. There was only one I actively disliked and that was due to me not being able to cope with the content (Scabs if you're curious). I definitely think this collection is worth a read and the author is clearly talented when it comes to themes. It lacks many of the problems I've had with previous anthologies and it's just a shame that more of the stories didn't blow me away.
Overall Rating: 3/5 stars

Horror is my favourite genre in books and movies. I have a huge collection of horror novels and short stories and without doubt I can say “Passengers you cannot see” is going in my top 10 short stories list! The stories were horrific and intense. All I can say is this book “did not let me go”. If you love horror and like to get into the story quickly, get this. You and your dreams won’t be disappointed!
