Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m giving this 1.5⭐️ only because there were two very good stories - one by P. Djeli Clark and one by Fonda Lee. The rest of the stories range from dull to simply terrible. A very disappointing read as witchy books are some of my favorite reads.

A collection of Winter themed horror stories. 3.5 stars
Cold As Ice - Awww, I really liked this story. It was a sweet ending.
Father‘s Last Christmas - Satisfying
Nice - love the little boy
Thaw - never vacation in an isolated cabin
Those 4 were my favorite stories. There were some stories I didn‘t like as much. It makes me wonder why they were included in this anthology. Like any collection there are hits and misses. More hits this time.

This was definitely a cover buy. A solid collection of horror themed short stories. I don't usually care for short stories, but some of these were quite good.

MINI REVIEW ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
This short story collection is my first time reading Eliza Clark and I am eager (hungry? 🙄) for more.
Gory, funny, emotional, and fun to read. If you‘re only going to read one story from this collection, my top pick is Extinction Event. As climate change ravages Earth, scientists are forcibly recruited in the desperate search for a “cure”. And what if that cure is another species' illness?

Unlikely request of the day… Give me your short horror recommendations!

I‘m looking for short stories or novellas that might be available on CD (so we might have more luck with classics, than completely contemporary stuff). The requester is a massive Stephen King fan, but his books are quite unwieldy on CD, so that‘s not working. You all know what an avid horror reader I‘m not…

What would you recommend?

This story collection slaps you across the face and doesn‘t apologize for it. It deeply explores what it is to be a woman and contains all the content warnings. I thought it was very good.

As with all anthologies some are great and others not so much. But overall a good collection.
