I really enjoy a good collection of short stories, but rarely do I find ones where all of the stories are creepy, thoughtful gems. Well-written and full of atmosphere, I found myself eager at the beginning of each new tale and no I can't say there were any stories that I skipped over or felt were weakening to the collection as a whole. Now that is a win. The stories range in genre/topic from the first, a story about a carnival fair of particular danger to those with troubled pasts to the last story of a town in which no one ever leaves, I was engaged. One of my favorite stories in the collection was "The Trial of Edwyn Greer" in that it had elements of sci fi and court drama, blended together to create a whole new take on vampirism as a disease. Mr. Bray is a new author to me, but I do find myself interested in his other collections and heh, that is what a good anthology can do. Highly recommended.

Just looked over this and I'm glad you posted this. Although I'm on a zombie kick (Slow Burn series), I'm looking forward to this. Thanks to you.

I really enjoyed the Slow Burn with the exception of 7, which was good but not as ...it didn't make a lot of sense to me, but then there could be a plot twist in 8 that explains some things. Bray's horror however, is good old-fashioned tragic horror. It's not gore or splatterpunk filled but it will give you certain pause and really each of the stories are unique and enjoyable.
