I recently read and reviewed, “What Fears Becomes” and was quite impressed with Jeani Rector’s earlier anthology from The Horror Zine. With tingling chills still rippling up my spine I eagerly delved into another anthology from The Horror Zine also edited by Jeani Rector, “Shadow Masters.” The cover piqued my curiosity as to what might lie hidden within the shadows of that old wooden clapboard house, the ghastly pale glow from the windows beckoning me to crack open this new, Masterpiece” to find...
Classic Horror from Today's MastersMany of today's writers, and indeed, even the audience, seem to feel an explanation is needed to explain the phenomenon present in any film or book; "open-ended" conclusions are not well-received by the mass audiences. However, the best horror films and books usually don't provide these explanations; as people, we crave answers to everything and we finally have a horror anthology composed by writers who don't feel the need to provide any scientific rationale fo...
Books like the latest anthology from Horror Zine editor Jeani Rector are exactly the reason I love anthologies. I always discover so many great authors I may not have otherwise discovered.

I can't believe how fast I plowed through this one, but it really is like watching a great show on DVD. You finish one story and say to yourself, "okay, just one more story" and the next thing you know, you're reading a second, a third and a forth.

This is a great anthology. Some well established authors and lots of fresh new writers. A super fun read.
A combination of perfectly crafted classic horror stories and great new approaches, this book has all I want from an Anthology in this genre. There were Zombies, Werwolfes, Ghosts and haunted houses, possesions and it brought new things into the realm of horror as well!Great chills guaranteed, and very few stories were predictable.km
Love!! Great scary stories... right before bedtime. It's the best time to read these!
