Are you ready for some chills and thrills? This
collection of stories will have you turning the lights on
and keeping them on. THE BEST HORROR OF THE YEAR VOLUME
8 has a great list of authors who each guarantee wonderful
characters and world building. I was excited to see a few of
my favorite
authors in this collection. I enjoyed many of these
stories and cannot just pick one as a favorite. This is a
good collection of stories that will raise your flesh and
more.
While I did enjoy all the stories included there
were a few that really stood out for me. The authors do a
nice job of weaving their worlds and characters that I
found myself quickly lost in the stories. They run the
gamut of places and things that will have your
imagination running. From
Halloween, an apocalypse, hunters and more there are many
worlds to delve into and get lost in. These stories are
well written and immerse the reader in the worlds that
the authors have created. With so many worlds to pick
from there is bound to be something to grab your
attention. Each of these stories grabbed my
attention and kept it all the way to the end. There are some
twists
and turns in these that only add to the enjoyment of the
stories.
These quick reads pack a punch and gave me some
chills to enjoy. The editor did a good job of collecting
engaging stories that give you the shivers and may even
keep you up at night. I enjoy the thrill of a scary story
and I am always looking forward to these anthologies. Who
doesn't love the thrill of a creepy story to get your
adrenaline flowing?
A town is held hostage by an unholy bargain made by some
of the inhabitants; a party game on Halloween brings back
memories better left forgotten; one misstep changes the
balance of survival during the apocalypse; a group of
seemingly typical travelers are stranded in an airport; a
widower’s holiday in a seaside town becomes a nightmare .
