If you like horror, and you like short stories, go get a copy of Dark Visions 1: A Collection of Modern Horror, an anthology of original short stories, edited by Anthony Rivera and Sharon Lawson. It's available on Amazon, here. A few notes about a couple of the stories to show you why it's so good:--Mister Pockets, by NYT bestselling author and multiple Stoker Award-winner Jonathan Maberry.Very effective short story about a "twelve-year old fat kid" who is barely beginning to understand his plac...
Dark Visions: A Collection of Modern Horror, Volume One, is a publication of Grey Matter Press, a small publisher of all genres of horror. The anthology has no theme — something of a rarity these days, when most anthologies are restricted to a particular type of monster (zombie, werewolf, vampire; you know the drill). Few of the writers who contributed stories to this anthology are known to me, though there are a few big names. It’s a solid collection of stories, edited by Anthony Rivera and Sha...
Dark Visions - Volume One is one of the first anthologies released by the stellar horror publishing company Grey Matter Press. A few weeks ago I posted a review of their latest, Ominous Realities, and mentioned that they are putting out some of the best anthologies around. After having just read Dark Visions - Volume One, I still stand by that statement. Edited by Anthony Rivera and Sharon Lawson and nominated for a 2013 Stoker Award, Dark Visions - Volume One contains thirteen horror short stor...

This stunning anthology reads like an alternative secret menu from Alice’s Restaurant of Horror… there’s nothing like variety in a menu that comes from some of the best word chefs in the world… dark soul stirrers that take you from one end of the spectrum of gustatory horror to its most opposite extreme. Bookending this anthology, the contrast of the offerings will surprise you: the innocent perspective of a pubescent child witnessing ancient and treacherous horrors yet discovered by murderous m...
Another quality anthology from Grey Matter Press with Maberry's 'Mr Pockets', Jonathan Balog's "The Troll", and David Riley's 'Scrap' being the stand-out stories for me.As with Ominous Realities, I like the fact that these stories are short, punchy, and varied, with a lot of originality on display.
Creative authors provide readers with materials to create a running picture inside their minds. Dark Visions has gathered a group of these talented authors, honed the tone of these rolling scenes and assembled a collection of tales worthy of a shrewd reader. Many of the Dark Visions stories contain surprising plot twists, most deviate from the expected gore and violent path that some horror tales wander. Come, sit by the fire and begin your journey, enjoy!
An absolute can't miss anthology.
it was pretty good. i especially liked mr pockets
I really liked Jonathan Maberry's tale, but didn't care for the ones after it. I glad this volume introduced me to Maberry's work, though, for I see on Amazon that he's a Bram Stoker winner for best first novel.
What a fun, delightful, and imaginative collection (is that morbid to say of a horror anthology?). I read the Kindle version and was at the 100% mark in no time at all. Dark Visions is everything it promises. Readers of horror will enjoy it. I'd also recommend this collection to those interested in the craft of the short story and those looking for their first foray into the genre.
http://www.thehorrorhoneys.comTwitter: @jbrivardShort stories can be a tough format and it's not always my favorite genre, but when done right, a book of short stories can be just the thing, and Dark Visions definitely was very engrossing (sometimes with the emphasis on gross). The collection, a quick read at just 13 stories, is put out by Grey Matter Press, and I have to say I love the implied optimism in the "Volume 1" of the title.Things get off to a quick start with Jonathan Maberry's "Miste...
Loved reading this book!!
I picked up this collection because I was familiar with one of the authors and really enjoy his work. I was rewarded by discovering a bunch of new great authors whose work I will now be picking up. This was a well put together collection. While I enjoyed some stories more than others, all of the stories were worth reading. All 13 stories portrayed unique dark visions, yet they all worked together well. The collection was well balanced, nothing felt out of place. This is exactly why I pick up the...
http://ensuingchapters.com/2014/01/04...I have a longstanding love affair with the small horror press. They’re like neighborhood bookstores: Some last, the majority fail (ultimately), but most of them are amazing while they last. And like that corner bookstore, they each have their own personality, though ostensibly they are all dealing in similar content. Enter the first installment of Dark Visions from Grey Matter Press. They certainly know how to plunge into the darkness: the anthology series...
Absolutely terrifying! From "hobos" to authors to gargoyles, this book did not disappoint! If you're looking a good scare, this is the book to read! Filled with short stories that leave the heart pounding and the reader looking over his shoulder, I can't recommend it highly enough!
