“There is inky glimmer to these dark tales … together they open up that wondrous space that dark fiction at its best inhabits, where it’s just you and the story and whatever is scratching at your window, and where no one can hear you scream. And you will.” – LitReactor

“We’ve grown accustomed to horror that pulls us into the depths and leaves us there, but this compilation shows that even at the worst times, humans instinctively cling to any ray of hope they can find. While it may not be the hope they thought they were looking for, sometimes, it’s still enough.” – Bleeding Cool

“Have you ever been punched in the stomach? You know, just hit so hard that it knocks the wind out of you and all you can do is sit there and try to catch a breath. That’s how I felt after reading this book.” – Horror Novel Reviews
