Every anthology is kind of a mixed bag, with some treats and some pieces that just aren't for you. Luckily, no story in this collection is longer than 1500 words, so if it's not your cup of tea, it's over fast enough or it's short enough that you don't feel guilty skipping it. Perfect for readers who are pressed for time, it's easy to pick up for a 5-minute reading break.

Typical horror anthology. Some good same just okay. For you enjoy anthologies its worth picking up. Probably no surprise that Stephen Graham Jones was my favorite!

These really are tiny stories, but it also means that many of them didn't have the punch necessary to be memorable. The first story was my favorite, but then they were a bit forgettable.

Awesome mini thrillers!
Enjoyed experiencing so many new writers in a powerful short period. Definitely a window into their work ..... not sure who's window I want to crawl through next!!!!!

I love the idea is super short horror stories. Tiny Nightmares includes 42 snippets of horror ranging from monsters to witches and non-supernatural like kidnappings. With any collection of stories, some were better than others. Overall, this is a great book if you want to include a little horror in your day but don’t have enough time for a novel.
Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC.

Tiny Nightmares is a very diverse blend of flash fiction. While bite-sized horror is intriguing in its form, not many of these lingered after reading. I did think Fingers by Rachel Heng was effective and appreciated its ecohorror.

A review of this appeared in the latest issue of FANGORIA magazine. If the publishers would like a PDF copy of the article, contact reviewer directly.

This book is perfect for the person wanting to work back up to tackling reading novels again or a busy person that might not have the time to binge read a novel in one night even though they want to. Each story is wonderfully crafted and this is an excellent read.

This was so much fun! I really enjoyed these - like most short story collections, some worked better for me than others, but I had a good time reading these. There were a lot of familiar author names, and would definitely recommend for people who enjoy a good spooky story.

Thank you to Catapult Book for the Reader's Copy!

Snuggle in for a night of spooky reads and haunting tales with Lincoln Michel and Nadxieli Nieto's "Tiny Nightmares" collection. With everything from kidnappings to witchery to every day acts of terror, this collection has a little bit to offer everyone. What I truly enjoyed was a breadth of the stories, spanning anything from blood sucking vampires to conjoined twin witches to vivid retellings of modern news stories. It was a fun collection that you can either read in one sitting or spread out over a few weeks for a sustained chill.

Like all short story books, there were some hits and misses. But this one definitely had more hits than the usual collection. Its a great book for a busy person who can only sit down for 10-20 minutes at a time and get lost in a short story.

Tiny Nightmares is a super fun & creepy collection of flash horror perfect for a quick scare. Thank you!

Tiny Nightmares is a really solid collection. Obviously, with this many stories, everything won't resonate perfectly with the reader but they were so short that I quickly made it through any story that was missing the mark and didn't feel like it messed up my pacing or enjoyment of the anthology. Plus, some of the stories were really really good. Pipeworks and Doggy both stand out to me.

Tiny Nightmares is a collection of 42 short stories which are all under 1500 words. The stories are divided into 4 categories: Heads, Hearts, Limbs, and Viscera. Most of the stories are mediocre and there were many stories that I simply didn’t enjoy. There were a handful of what I would consider average stories. There were 6 stories that I would consider good, 1 of those was actually quite good. The standout stories include Unbeknownst by Matthew Volmer, Pipeworks by Chavisa Woods, Carbon Footprint by Shelly Oria, Pincer & Tongue by Stephen Graham Jones, The Mask, the Ride, & the Bag by Chase Burke, and Candy Boi by Sam J Miller. I will say that these stories did feel very modern and represented many different horror sub genres ranging from ghosts to monsters. The issues were also very current and dealt with very serious issues such as the environment and police brutality. I would recommend this collection to anyone who wants bite size horror stories that can be read in a small amount of time.

A love collection of horror stories ranging from the classic to the contemporary. These pieces of flash fiction offer up delightfully terrifying stories that instill horror in our everyday, modern lives.

While there were some interesting stories in this collection, I expected them to be more frightening than they were. The stories were more strange than creepy.

Tiny Nightmares has a selection of fantastic scary, creepy, unsettling stories. I enjoyed many of them and the collection as a whole was well thought out.

There wasn't a clunker in this high quality collection of 40+ very very short stories. What a quirky, spooky, fun, and yes in some cases nightmare inducing collection of tales perfect for October or really anytime!

A Halloween treat with no trick attached. Each of these delicious stories is short...micro short...in length but huge in content. The authors are all skilled in their craft and could definitely cause a few nightmares with their contributions. I love anthologies because they give me a fresh look at new authors, or new to me anyway, and don't require a considerable time commitment to finish. I turn to these compilations when I'm burned out on series and repeated versions of the same stories told over and over. TINY NIGHTMARES is an excellent read. Be sure to read with the lights on and the TV down low!

It’s that time of year when everyone wants a jolt of Tiny Nightmares. There is no easier way to get ready for Halloween than reading one or more of these super short horror stories in the dark before bed!

From climate change to a subway rat to mother’s milk, these stories have themes beyond the usual vampires and werewolves—though those are here too. With forty-two tales, there is something for every taste. To be honest, it is extremely rare to enjoy every story in a collection. However, Tiny Nightmares did not disappoint at all. Each story is a glance into someone’s life, which is about to veer straight into disaster. Each is excellent, even though they are completely different. My personal favorites were “Rearview” and “Leg”, just for their pure unadulterated weirdness.

I can’t recommend this book higher to horror fans. 5 stars and a favorite!

Thanks to Catapult, Black Balloon Publishing, and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review.
