Antohony Giangregorio takes a short respite from publishing zombie books to host an anthology of other horror stories. Oh, there is the odd zombie or two but here you'll find other horrors like vampires, ghosts, and demons. You get twenty pulse pounding, gut wrenching, stories with a little dark humor and blood thrown into the mash. Most of the writers are unknowns or those with a handful of publishing credits so you are getting good, raw material along with a shiver or two. Don't pass it up!
