Horror Book
[Blurb goes here]
This is the first book I've read by Thom Carnell, and while the man writes like an expert, all stories in this collection are, if anything, derivative.
There's nothing awe inspiring, there's nothing truly new. You've read this stories over and over again in different books. The setting and characters might change, but the rest is just same old, same old.
No matter. I still enjoyed Mr. Carnell prowess at the keyboard, even though, half of what I read was a bit stagnant.
I will certainly read more stuff by the author in the hopes that this anthology, was a just a minor fluke.
Thank you for the free copy!

This book was a page turner from beginning to end. Amazing collection of horror stories to read and absorb. As with any collection there are some that are extreme standouts however overall I found myself enjoying all of them and the entire book. Recommend. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

In this collection of horror, the author has written 14 stories. He has written frightening and innovative tales that made me want to keep reading. Horror fiction can reveal truths that in reality often obscures. You will be plunged into surreal domains. Reading these stories take me away temporary from the real world. If you are a psychological horror fan, read this book.

If you have read more of this author's work, then you'll probably get more enjoyment out of this. That's not to say I didn't like a few of the stories. One story I outright didn't finish, but that is a personal trigger that is kind of niche. For those who may have the same trigger it has to do with the Achilles' Tendon. A few of my favorite stories though were:
The Appeal
Homecoming
Esurience
Tomb of the Living Dead
The Dagger of Golgotha
