AnthologyA collection of strange and macabre. Short stories to send shivers down your spine. Nice time fillers when you don't want to read a novel.
Surprisingly goodI purchased this out of sheer boredom and did not hold high expectations. I was pleasantly surprised however. These short stories were for the most part entertaining and we'll written. There were a couple of duds (I'm never impressed by vampires) but there were enough good stories to make it a worthwhile read.
Pretty good storiesMost of the stories were quite well done, and of just the length that works perfectly for a bathroom break. There were a couple that didn't appeal at all, but they were easy to skip over.
Compiled and edited by Dan Alatorre, this is another gathering of spooky stories that will appeal to horror fans, with tales from 27 different authors, including Alatorre himself.What I like about collections of horror stories is that there’s usually something for everyone – whether you enjoy being scared witless or prefer to digest something that’ll make you consider the unknown, this is no exception. From the opening tale (by DT himself), we are plunged into the dark and creepy streets of New
I may be difficult to please when it comes to short fiction, because I like my stories to feel complete and often short fiction fails on those lines, but most of the tales in this collection did not fail to satisfy. Most of them were also a little creepy, which is essential when it comes to horror. And, did I mention it has a really cool cover? Put all of that together, and I give Dark Visions five stars.Visit my blog to see my full review: https://kayelynnebooth.wordpress.com/...
Strange Short Stories GaloreJust in time for Halloween. This is a good selection of weird and creepy short stories written by various new authors from around the globe in 2018. Great reading . . .
Good stories
Very good horror collectionA generous compilation of well selected stories that will keep you up at night. If not from fear, for the need to keep reading the stories to their end.
I liked it. A lot. If you can't find a short story within the pages of this book that you like, I kinda feel sorry for you! Seriously, this book has such an eclectic collection, you should be able to find at least one that brings you into the story. Different authors, different writing styles. Some were better than others. Some were only two pages long, yet two pages were enough to tell the tale. Using your imagination to it's fullest, is the key to appreciating this wonderful collection of shor...
There are a few of these that are complete short stories which is what I thought I was going to get when I purchased the series on sale. It is not. This collection anyway. Some of these are portions excerpts from full novels or novella's and only a chapter or portion there of. Very disappointing when you are expecting a complete story. As for the ones that were complete they were ok. Because I purchased the entire collection, I think 6 books of short stories I am hoping the other ones will be be...
I enjoyed all the short stories. I especially enjoyed the ones set in New Orleans. Coming from rural Iowa, the environment and culture in New Orleans is so fascinating. I would definitely read someing like this again.
Good storiesLots of stories. Not all scary but interesting ones too. Many different styles of writing. I liked this book. Done.
If you're looking for quick reads to enjoy during a break in your day, Dark Visions offers some eerie, creepy, and unsettling short stories that are perfect for this time of year. Although I can't review each individually, I'll mention those I was still thinking about days after finishing. If you're a parent, The Storm by J.A. Allen will rip your heart out. Pictures showing people who weren't there when the picture was taken is disturbing and haunting - which is why The Stranger by Allison Ma...
I loved the stories. Each story was a spooky read. This collection was a thrilling and heart pounding read.
Pretty good horrorSome are more scary than the others but its a good collection of short stories with horror theme. I'd recommend it if you like horror.
If you love horror then these thirty-four short stories will make you quiver and shake! Being born in Louisiana, I enjoyed the Big Easy novellas, but it was the one novella that made even me look over my shoulder as I read! With thirty-four novellas there is one most readers will enjoy!
Disclosure up front: my award-winning story, "Ghosts of Tupelo," is in this book. My review applies to the other tales contained therein.It's been my experience that anthologies are uneven. Some of the stories will blow you away in a good way, some will leave you cold, and others will be "just okay."Well, Dan Alatorre has curated a collection of tales that will keep you reading "just one more" for hours. The tales range from gory (but not too gory) to around-the-campfire spooky. Settings range f...
Some standout stores in this collection, some that miss the mark. Better editing would certainly help. A nice way to add some diversity to your horror library. Definitely gave me some up and coming authors to watch out for.
