This was a mixed bag for me. Some of the stories were great, and some of them were just OK. Nothing was horrible by a longshot.
This anthology was full of awesome stories! Not one boring one in the bunch and now I really want to read the other title in this series. These stories would make the coolest Tales From The Crypt episodes and or comics/graphic novels.
*I was given a copy of this book by the publisher in exchange for my fair and honest review.*In Darkness Delight Two: Creatures of the Night, an original anthology series revealing the many faces of modern horror- the shocking and quiet, pulp and literary, cold hearted and heartfelt, all weird tales of spiraling madness alongside full throttle thrillers. Open these pages and unleash all new terrors that consume from without and within.This book didn't start or end very well. I had high expectati...
This is a 2.5 for me. A lot of these stories just didn't scare or surprise me, which is a shame as I had heard good things about this collection. But two stories I really liked were "The Ugly Tree" and "The Green Man of Freetown."
A nice collection of themed horror stories by some of my favourite writers.
Generally decent stories from amateur authors...as with the first installment, there were many grammar issues that should have been caught. I read this book because it had Adam Light, Evans Light, and Gregor Xane. They did not disappoint. The rest were a mixed bag.
Just like the first volume, (IN DARKNESS DELIGHT: MASTERS OF MIDNIGHT), IN DARKNESS DELIGHT: CREATURES OF THE NIGHT is an impressive collection of tales!Creature features are one of my very favorite sub-genres of horror and in this volume, nearly every single story worked for me. There were creatures of all kinds, both great and small, both real and imaginary, (though figuring out which was sometimes difficult!). I can't get into every story within, but the ones that stood out the most were:WHIT...
A great anthology of horror stories. Each one was a winner.
Short story collections almost always contain a few duds for me. It’s not the fault of the story (usually) but often a matter of taste. When you toss this many writers together one of them is bound to leave me wishing I had spent my time trimming the cat's nails or something but surprisingly that wasn’t the case here. I didn’t despise any of them and found most of them imaginative and entertaining, a few were sad making, several were humorous, and more than a few made my skin crawl. It helps tha...
Couple good stories. TABLE OF CONTENTSTHE PEOPLE IN THE TOILET Mason Morgan. 2⭐️. Trigger warning: animal and child abuse. Too vague about what was in the toilet. The story was mainly focused on the abuse, and very little about title subject. HUMAN TOUCH Glenn Rolfe. 3⭐️. Ok read. Wish there had been a little more back story on the creature. I appreciated the gore. WHITE RABBIT Tim Curran. 2 ⭐️. Lacked consistency. Story begins with a description of the rabbit saying, "...its fur white and prist...
Not as good as I expected, especially with the listed authors.... Redeems itself a bit in the second half but not by much. In the end this book was a middle of the range, average short story collection 😒

4.5 stars - rounding up for GoodReads, Amazon. It was a wonderful, multi-faceted anthology, I really just liked Volume 1 a bit more. All of the good stuff that I mentioned on formatting holds true for this volume. The text size, story breaks seem to make a 350 page book fly. While volume 1 was all "new to me" authors. This one had some familiar names. Chad Lutzke ( I have read all of his work ), Gregor Xane ( I have read 3 novellas ), Richard Chizmar ( I read Gwendy's Button Box ), Glen Rolfe (
Full disclosure: I have a story (The Worms Turn) in this anthology. I finished reading my contributor copy and can say it’s a fun and varied bunch of tales with something for everyone from ravenous gorehounds to monocle wearing aesthetes and all mixtures thereof. Some of my favorite stories were Mikal Trimm’s Infestation, Chad Lutzke’s “ He Wears the Lake”, and Kev Harrison’s “Snap”.
I was very excited to receive a copy of In Darkness Delight: Creatures of the Night because I very much liked the first one, Masters of Midnight. And while there were many good stories within the Creatures of the Night collection, overall, I didn’t find this collection as powerful as I expected it would be. I did have a few favorite stories that stuck with me well after reading them.The collection opens with “The People in the Toilet” by Mason Morgan. A young boy is convinced that there are
In Darkness, Delight: Creatures of the Night is a fantastic anthology of Extreme Horror tales. Although this installment of In Darkness Delight does have a theme—Creatures of the Night—the stories are impressively varied in premise and context and style. Some stories are more gruesome than others, some more graphic than others, some more psychologically violating than others, but I did not read one I didn’t enjoy.That being said, I picked a few at random that begged commentary:“The People in the...
Short stories that are well written and either horrific or introspective or both.
