Table of contents
This is a collection of previously published stories from the last three years. Short stories are an excellent introduction to any author and his latest collection, The Beautiful Thing That Awaits Us All , is a must-read for new and seasoned fans alike.
Books / Short Stories
Several come from Lovecraft-themed anthologies, and others are more broad-based horror offerings. As many of these stories are from specialized anthologies, seasoned fans may likely have missed one or two along the way as well. Barron's writing style is outside of what I see as mainstream horror, and I for one really appreciate that. It's subtle, and gently guides the reader into dark, eerie places. His characters are well-defined, distinct, and drawn in sharp lines. I found myself loving, hating, sympathizing with, or raging against them throughout the stories. The story "The Redfield Girls" serves as a perfect example.
Halloween Carnival
We have a wonderful cast of characters and a fantastic set up. A group of women make an annual road trip to a remote location in the Pacific Northwest. They drink some wine, relax, and recharge their batteries for the coming year. This year however, one of their party insists on a specific location. Thus begins a mounting feeling of something dark and ominous. Barron delivers in tone and atmosphere, and we sit tense through mysterious phone calls, missing vehicles, and missing persons. Modern writers seem to have lost that flair for the macabre as they fall back on gore, bloodshed, and violence.
Barron is far and away a cut above the rest—pun intended. This novel would work well in any adult horror or dark fiction collection of a general library. Contains: violence, sexual references. Reviewed by: Drake Morgan. Monk Punk edited by A. There are 23 short stories in Monk Punk , mostly by emerging writers some are first publications.
The stories take place in a variety of time periods, from the Middle Ages to the distant future. Unfortunately, while I enjoyed some stories that were, to an extent, fresh and original, the collection itself is a bit of a let-down. On the one hand, we have Buddhist -like monks, who usually live alone, in contemplative spiritualism, but who display deadly martial arts skills when called upon. On the other, we have Christian -esque monks, who form cultish, cloistered brotherhoods, prone to ritualistic behaviour, conspiracy and on occasion sacrifice.

The problem with Monk Punk in general is that it rarely moves beyond this, and the stories begin to feel a little same-y. I had some trouble differentiating the solitary-Eastern-monk-with-badass-fighting-skills stories of which there are six , as they trod very similar ground. Unfortunately, the only story that attempted to focus on a religion other than Buddhism or Christianity — the story of a colonial explorer who meets a Sufi guru — was marred by racist and misogynist caricature, which made it rather unpalatable.
There are some stories in the collection that have tried to do justice to the fascinating theme, particularly R. Overall, though, the collection lacked the originality and energy promised by both the title and the introduction. Contains: violence, sex, swearing, references to religion. What a refreshing anthology this is! In a deviation from the usual blood and gore of traditional horror, these short stories focus on the unpredictability of magic and how consequences can truly be horrific when one delves into the supernatural.

The medium she uses to bind him to her—her hair—ends the story with unexpected results. Morgan seems to be a relative newcomer to the formal publishing world, but her talent is already quite evident. Jonathan Oliver did a wonderful job of choosing and editing the stories for this anthology. I highly recommend this collection for readers that want something a little different and librarians looking for good read-aloud material.
Contains: some gore, some violence, supernatural references. Reviewed by: W. Self-published, Available: New paperback. Stories and Poems of a Twisted Kind is a nice little collection of poems and stories with a bit of a Gothic feel. He has also given a sweet little nod to the old Tales from the Crypt series. The book is a fun read for both teen and adult horror fans. The book is well-written and the layout of stories and poems works nicely.
All in all, a very good read. Suitable for older young adult readers. Reviewed by: Colleen Wanglund.

Russell, about an alien attempting to invade earth, who is thwarted by the rooster, Mr. As with all anthologies, not every story is going to be appealing to every reader. Unfortunately, it was far too verbose, with the author telling the details instead of describing them.
The editors did a good job with their selections, for the most part, and I really enjoyed reading the stories. Corrupts Absolutely? Damnation Books, Available: New paperback and Kindle. Did you ever wonder what would happen if you or someone you know developed superpowers in our reality? Would they be good or evil?
Night Shift (1978)
Would they hide it or seek out the spotlight? Would that power indeed corrupt? This is a collection of short stories posing those same questions, as well as others. As with any anthology, there are usually a few misses within the hits. However, the bulk of the stories are imaginative and well-written, and Lincoln Crisler did an amazing editing job.
Most of the stories are pretty quick reads, and very entertaining. Characters and settings differ greatly, and the stories are not necessarily your standard comic book fare. Contains: violence and adult language. Angelic Knight Press, Echoing the destruction of mankind, the stories in Fading Light are frightening and, for the most part, quite bleak, which is how I like my horror.
I also received a companion e-book containing five stories that were very good, but left out of the anthology for other reasons. A lot of the stories centered on the phenomenon of our sun disappearing. Whether by supernatural, religious or scientific occurrences, these scenarios are all equally frightening. There are also quite a few unique stories contained here that are scary and bleak.
