Lockdown Horror #1 Reviews
-
This is a 3.5 star read.

This one was a bit more miss for me on some stories than the Sci-Fi #1, hence the 3 star. The ones that were misses were stereo-typical horror to me or just not emotion inducing.
The other ones though, oh man, one had me literally curled in a ball reading through one eye whilst I cringed and the other good ones had great set ups and excellent twists at the end. One I could sort of see coming but the author did so well writing wise at slow building the sense of impending doom that I kept questioning until the ending if it would actually go that direction. So, well done!
For free and a quick read, you'd be hard pressed to beat such a distraction by this publisher. -
It's a great collection of tales, some are quite short so that can help with those looking for a quick read. Every author did a great job coming up with various tales of terror. The ones that stood out the most were "Death Spore" by Stephen Herczeg for to its Sci-fi/horror B-movie vibe and "Howl" by Galina Trefil is an interesting take on zombie story-telling.
Highly recommended. -
This is a good little collection of short (some very short) stories, like tales form the crype stories

Lockdown Horror#1 is a diverse little anthology of twenty short tales ranging from superbly executed microfictions, like Erica Schaef’s "Dolly", to longer stories with teasing twists. The horror ranges from the chillingly graphic realism of Zoey Xolton’s "Unbreakable", to Jacqueline Moran Meyer’s darkly comic girls on a mission tale, "Reinventing The Night", to the wonderfully gory "The Butcher of Blengarth" by David Bowman. Each story is uniquely entertaining and had me turning the pages wanting more. And this is a FREE read, given away to readers during the lockdown. I can’t recommend it enough.

Pretty decent
As a whole the collection is not my fave. Most of the stories are predictable and there were some typos. That really does not bother me, the stories were just okay. Nevertheless I love seeing indie writers work and supporting them. Its awesome to see. -
Talented authors combine for a fun, pocket-sized horror anthology with something for everyone.

Quick and deadly
I recommend this book to a true psychological horror fan, who lives for the the quickening of psyche, for the ending are never what you think. -
An assortment of mainly really short stories. The "Ritual" is probably the best story in this.
