For Those Who Dream Monsters is an excellent collection of well written short stories. Not all of them are horror, but I thought that almost all of them were good. A lot of Polish history comes through in these tales, with actual history making an appearance as well as a few myths from Polish culture. There were even some laughs, such as in DIRTY DYBBUK, in which a virtuous young girl is invaded by the spirit of her horny aunt. Most of this collection is on the dark side however, such as the s
CREEPY BUT IN A GOOD WAY!!!! LOVE IT!!!
For Those Who Dream of Monsters, is a collection of short stories by Anna Taborska, and illustrated in turn by artist Reggie Oliver, who also provides the introduction.(Incidentally, the illustrated prints accompanying each story are available to purchase from the publisher's website.It is clear from the offset that Anna possesses an eye for rich cinematic composition and it is not surprising that she has a dual career in film as a director, script writer and as a short story writer. Each piece
If any collection ever deserved a 5 star review it's this one. I came across Anna Taborska on the vaultofevil proboards forum where one of her stories called Fish is free to download and read. It was, and still is my favourite story from this collection and I was pleased to find out that a second volume is in the pipeline too, or so the rumour goes anyway.With not a single bad or even mediocre story in the entire collection, I heartily recommend this and very much look forward to the next one.
For those who dream Monster's is written by Anna taborska in this book there are 18 Spooky and strange tales from the Abyss each with a Spooky whimsical little Illustration by Reggie Oliver. I have to say all in all I really enjoyed this book, it's nice to read a female author who can write Horror and I mean this lady can write. I found her stories to be surreal and dark atmospheric and she really has a gift of pushing you into her tales.Some of the stories in this book that stands out to me we...
I adored this book. Cruel, uncanny, meticulously crafted, and beautifully written short stories. Each one a vicious universe into itself. My favorites were 'Cut!' which I enjoyed the black humor and the inherent madness of egos within the film industry. 'The Girl in the Blue Coat' was a haunting testimony to what happens when the evils of this world are festering in the shadows. Then there was 'A Tale of Two Sisters: Rusalka' which actually made me cry. I'm obsessed with fairy tales of river spi...
Taborska's stories in the Black Books of Horror series were among my favourites, but a collected book of them seems a little underwhelming. The writing is good, and the influences of eastern European folklore add a lot, but there are far too many standard ghost stories or other tales with similarly rather predictable outcomes (not helped at all in many instances by Reggie Oliver's title page illustrations depicting the (often twist) ending of the story before you get a chance to read a word).
Not for me I am not the greatest fan of short horror stories and even though the writing and imagery is very good the content and stories themselves were not to my liking. There were a few enjoyable moments and descriptions the best of which was the following....."like a moth that believes itself soaring towards the moon, only to find itself trapped in a house full of dusty light bulbs."....
Short story collections by a single author is right there at the bottom of the list of things I usually review, but when Mortbury Press’ name was affiliated with For Those Who Dream Monsters, I put away my silly preferences and jumped at the chance to read Anna Taborska‘s tales.Anna Taborska, the author of some fantastic short stories that will thrill, chill and give you the heebie-jeebies in more ways than you’d feel comfortable with, made sure to put together a collection of her best horror st...
For Those Who Dream Monsters, a collection of stories by Anna Taborska, is wonderfully illustrated by Reggie Oliver, who also provides the introduction to the collection. There's fantastic cover art by Steve Upham, This copy of For Those Who Dream Monsters is signed by all three to my Bestwick.The collection opens with the brutal Schrodinger's Human. A blood-thirsty tale of an unusual serial killer. If you didn't already mistrust cats, you will by the end of the story.In the much lauded Little P...
Not bad, but nothing special, I'm afraid.
