Here Be Monsters – An Anthology of Monster Tales By M.T. Murphy, S.M. Reine, India Drummond, Anabel Portillo, Jeremy C. Shipp, Samantha Anderson, and Sara Reinke.
(Review by Saewod Tice – Great Minds Thinking Aloud Literary Community)
Eight tales of vampires, werewolves, demons, zombies, and other horrors: M.T. Murphy - Blackmail. - A nice twist in a familiar tale.
S.M. Reine - Something Wrong. - A simple, beautifully written horror.
India Drummond - The Reaver. - A fresh tale with a ghoulishly karmic finish.
Anabel Portillo - Lux. - A tale I wish was a full novel, just to get more detail to the horrors created.
Jeremy C. Shipp - Figs. - An unexpected climax and new meaning to justice.
Samantha Anderson - Deals and Demons. - Good versus Evil has a new twist.
Sara Reinke - Periphery People. - Hauntingly different and ‘campfire’ story worthy.
M.T. Murphy - Spider Bag. - Perhaps my fear of spiders are the reason this shook me, but it may also be the actual discovery of what the spider bag is that did me in.
It’s Halloween-time and this collection of horror shorts was fun for this time of the year. I liked a couple of the stories over the others, but overall they were a pretty twisted read. Definitely recommended for a couple quick horrific reads.
