My Review


This was a brilliant collection of short stories. I really enjoyed reading it and finished it in one evening as it was very hard to put down. I loved just how varied the stories were. It wasn't exactly what I was expecting as this is my first arkam horror book. But I loved it all the same. My favourite stories were in art truth by James Fadeley, crossing the stars by MJ Newman and the red and the black by Josh Reynolds. These were definitely 5 star stories for me. They were all very different in styles but worked so well together as they had a central theme. I loved the pace . They certainly had my heart racing. They wereso thrilling and exciting. You can definitely tell that something big is coming. I really recommend giving this book and series a go.

So much praise goes out to the authors and publishers for creating such a thrilling, page turning collection of stories. I will definitely be reading more books in this series.
