Very well put together, as always. Some favorites include: Rowley Amato's "A Place With Trees," David Peak's "House of Abjection," Clint Smith's "The Undertow, and They That Dwell Therein," and David Surface's "Something You Leave Behind." There were, however, many very good stories -- something for everyone.
Includes a story selected for Year's Best Weird Fiction, Vol. 5, David Peak's "House of Abjection," and numerous other worthwhile contributions.

Originally published at Risingshadow.Nightscript: Volume III is a treasure trove of chilling goodness to readers who appreciate strange stories and literary strange fiction. The editor, C.M. Muller, has done his best to gather versatile stories that emphasise the diversity of dark fiction, concentrating especially on tales that can best be classified as literary strange fiction and modern weird fiction.Nightscript: Volume III is one of the finest anthologies of its kind, because it contains exce...
Favourite stories: Young Bride by Julia Rust and A Place With Trees by Rowley Amato.
Mr. Muller does it again. Another great collection of weird tales. (And I’m not just saying that because one of my stories is in it.) I’ve been a big fan of Nightscript since its publication. I’ve read all three anthologies, and have no plans on stopping now. Definitely one of the best edited anthologies around —as good as any of the more popular publications in the horror/weird tale vein. Aesthetically grand, and perfectly balanced with regards to story pacing. I’ll be brutally honest: Nightscr...
Volume 3 of Nightscript is more of a mixed bag than its previous entries. There were quite a few good stories - 'The Affair' by James Everington, 'Something You Leave Behind' by David Surface, and 'The Familiar' by Cory Cone especially stand out - but the overall consistency just wasn't there this time around. I appreciate getting a glimpse at some new and lesser-known authors, but I felt this anthology would have benefited from featuring some more established authors again.
A disarmingly weird tale that is intensely worrying. Revelatory and clinging, too, as to how different it must seem on the other side of the hill.A fine coda to this fine haunting symphony of an anthology. Many genuine gems in its gestalt of rueful reclamation.The detailed review of this book posted elsewhere under my name is too long or impractical to post here.Above is one of my observations at the time of the review.
I love the dark and weird tales, and this anthology has a positive blurb from Ellen Datlow, whose judgement I respect. Excited to read this.[Also, as an aside, I don't like trolls and bullies, and try to support their victims. One of the authors in this anthology is being trolled on Twitter, and that is what brought this book to my attention.]
