Another amazing collection from Dan and the Shadow Booth crew. A wonderful creepy bunch of stories that will find a way into your head. There are some weak stories, but the ones I liked totally overshadowed those. And I'm sure the ones I liked might not be the ones you liked. They spread the gamut of personal stories to global stories. Some are super creepy and others are slow burns. In the end, this is a killer anthology you should check out if you feel like you need to be freaked out.
Uneven second volume of this journal of weird fiction, comprising 12 stories. The standouts are the creepy 'Buddy' by Mark Morris, and George Sandison's eerie rendering of nostalgia, 'Keel'. Aliya Whiteley's 'Ear to Ear', while not my personal favourite in terms of plot/style, is so memorable it seems head and shoulders above the rest, marking her out as a writer to watch. Several stories made me want more, 'What to Do When Your Child Brings Home a Mami Wata' by Chikodili Emelumadu in particular...
Another great set of strange and weird horror tales ranging from grief to cosmic horror encounters that change reality Full Review - https://www.runalongtheshelves.net/bl...
Things started strongly with the extremely creepy Buddy, and We Are The Disease. However, the third story, Waves, completely failed to capture me, and I ended up leaving the book on my coffee table for some time.

However, the remainder of th...
The Shadow Booth edited by Dan Coxon, is a new journal of weird and eerie fiction and after reading the excellent Fortune Box by Madeleine Swann I have gotten a taste for weird fiction that is hard to classify.This is the second volume from ShadowBooth. I haven't read the first yet, but after I finished this I immediately downloaded the first instalment.Volume 2 features 12 short stories by many authors you will recognise if you' re a fan of creepy horror fiction. I have to say the range of styl...
The strongest stories here are very good indeed, the middling ones perfectly acceptable, and a couple I couldn't manage to finish.
An excellent collection of stories. I'm terrible at reading entire volumes of short stories but each and every one of these were intriguing enough to keep me reading until the very end. As always happens with short story collections however, some stories were markedly better (or at least more to my preference and expectations) than others. Thr margin wasn't overly large, but just enough to keep me from a 5 star review. And thats why I hate numbered rating systems.
