A week or so ago, I reviewed Killing It Softly 2. Some of you may have wondered why I did the sequel before the original. The answer is simple, I got the sequel first. THAT was quickly remedied. To sum it up in a single word, WOW!Killing It Softly is an anthology of horror fiction written by women. The point of this anthology is to prove that women can write horror as well as a man. Well, it is a fact I always knew, but damn did these ladies prove it! Not only do these tales scare, but they will...
Horror at its BestI gave this anthology five stars because it contains spine chilling stories. Women wrote these stories, and many of them had a twist that raised them up above the usual horror stories. It introduced me to new authors who I want to read more of their works.
Disclaimer: I have a story in here, and I'm so happy it's surrounded by top horror by women who write with talent and diversity
Good variety of short horror stories. I liked most of them.
This Anthology Kills It Indeed!This is an anthology chock-full of chills!Most anthologies are a mixed bag - you're going to have some stories that shine, and others that are, more or less, filler.Suzi Wargo Lockhart's "Killing It Softly: A Digital Horror Fiction Anthology" is a 'best of' affair, full of dark and disturbing tales by women. Every story is well worth reading, even though some were more to my taste than others. I found Geri Leen's "What the Rain Brings", Aliya Whiteley's "Songs for
Anthology ; most of the stories are very good, and a couple are excellent.
I loved this book. Each story lends its own unique voice to a mixture of quiet horror and hard-hitting shock. All the stories included are intensely creepy so that every horror fan will find something they like here. Between these pages you'll find a brilliant line-up of highly skilled horror writers, who also happen to be female. I bet you'll find a new favorite author, too. Don't miss out.
Some stories were better than others. I actually did read the whole book and I found that the stories in the last third of the book were better than the first two thirds. Overall, nice creepy crawly book where some stories were really atmospheric and creepy and others were "meh". I want to go through it again to remember the stories I liked in order to check out the authors' work for nice creepy reads.
Well, it took me FOREVER to read this anthology. I mainly read it at work, though, so that's my excuse. There are roughly 30 stories in this compilation, all written by women. Overall, I rate this 3/5. Some stories were very poorly written, others too predictable, and finally: boring. Maybe a portion of what I read I found to be truly original and/or spooky. Glad I read this. Glad I didn't pay more than $1.00 for it! Don't know if I would jump into one of these anthologies again, though. This is...
