This book is a collection of horror stories with various other authors such as: Nova Ren Suma, Jonathan Maberry, Marie Lu, Jay Kristoff and Leigh Bardugo.
I really appreciated this book very much all of the stories were fantastically wrote. Each story I was in suspense especially the second story called "In the Forest Dark and Deep" by Carrie Ryan. This was such a brilliant story with so much suspense based on Alice in Wonderland but a horrible dark version that makes you gasp. Another story I thoroughly enjoyed was called "Sleepless" by Jay Kristoff. This twisted story is based off of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, a boy loving his mother who is a hunter, but the hunter becomes the hunted. There is also another story in this book that I really enjoyed it was a sad story but still a spooky one. It was called Stitches, it was wrote by A.G.Howard and it was inspired my Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. The story is about a girl who has to dismember her father, heal the wounds and replace the amputee's with other people's body parts. She started at the mere age of 13. But not all we it seems. The girls mother died a tragic death and it's parts of her mother that were given to her to attach to her father, the poor girl didn't know until the last time. It was a wonderful story with a sad touch.
There was so many more brilliantly written stories in this book!
