Review for Read, Scream, Repeat
An exciting anthology filled to the brim with spooky stories! I need more!
I shared this one on Goodreads on November 1st and thought I would also post it on my blog. Well, when I had time. Which is today. Haha. My blog is a bit full.
This was a fantastic anthology, just didn’t like one of the stories (as it felt like an excerpt from a bigger story and also had a very open ending). But the rest was spooky and I flew through the book. I loved the variety of monsters/scary things. From zombies to ghosts to glass houses and trees lurking. I would highly recommend it.
Here is my rating + a small review for each of the stories.
Wolf Moon: Interesting story with plenty of oh no, though I am still a bit confused on what happened and if it was all true or not.
Charlie’s Twelfth: OH SNAP. I had a suspicion, but DANG! That was heartbreaking and scary!
Game Over: OH HECK YES. When gaming gets real! I would love more of this one!
The Light Bulb: DNF. This one felt like a bigger story just cut to bits to fit with the anthology. A shame.
Talos Springs: Nothing is as it seems. Be careful what you say.
The Pond: Dolls. Consequences. Teehee.
Underlay Underlings: I need more! Carpets that will eat you and take your soul (oh and anything else you put on it, but it seems their favourite is souls)! Spookiness! Plus, I want to see that channel the boys are setting up!
Deep Water: Hey, she did warn them. Om nom nom.
The Green Ghost: Not super scary, more sad. Still awesome.
The Glass House: Haha, I would have left SO FAST. NOPE.
The Attic Room: Oh no. Oh no.
Hide and Seek: I want more, it was definitely scary, how do you escape this? But it felt a bit like there was more to be told! So please, write a whole story!
A Cry from the Graveyard: More sad than scary. Still a good story and I enjoyed it!
All in all, as you can see I am very happy with this anthology. Sometimes with anthologies it can be hit/miss, but this one was almost all a hit! Then again, with such a great group of writers (many I already love their works) it was bound to go good. As I said in the beginning, I wouldn’t mind Jennifer Killick and other writers to make another epic anthology. Maybe for the next Halloween season? Awww? Please?
