The Best Horror of the Year Volume Seven by Ellen Datlow
1.0
It was so kind of this editor to put this collection together of authors I won't ever have to read again in the future.
Wait, what? That's not what the purpose of this collection was?
Hunh. News to me.
These are not horror stories. They're not scary. They're tiresome.
The only story I genuinely enjoyed was Interstate Love Song (Murder Ballad No. 8). However, this was not a horror story. It wasn't even close to scary, I don't know what genre you would classify it as. The fact that someone gets murdered in the story? Does not make it a horror story.
Like, you cannot just Ctrl + F every story you read, search for the words "blood" or "grave", and slap it into a collection you title horror.
Around the time I was ready to give up, I decided to only read the collection at night, while lying in bed with the lights out. If I'm going to get scared, it's going to be at that time.
Nope. Just bored.
I apologize to the authors in this collection if you've got stories that deserve a better rating. Because none of these did.
