Deluxe Darkness Reviews
-
Deluxe Darkness is perfect for the spooky season or for horror fans who want quick and fun stories. Anthologies are great because you don't have to read it all at once. You can enjoy a few stories with your morning coffee or before bed.
This collection of horror stories is well done. I love the different voices we get from the authors and the styles they showcase their words in. Some of these stories reminded me of Stephen King and old-school shows like the Twilight Zone and Tales From the Crypt, so I easily enjoyed this anthology.
Definitely recommend this one for the Spooktober season, and for those who want small bites of horror. -
Deluxe Darkness is the combination of Collective Darkness, Little Darkness and The Darkness Between, plus two bonus stories.
I had the chance to review Collective Darkness when it first came out, it’s an Amazon bestselling horror anthology that features 12 macabre stories. When I had read it last time, I had enjoyed ‘Padula’s Eyes’, ‘Brisket Please’, and ‘Red Flag’, so it was a good refresh and also an epic line I had missed the first time around from Edward Suggs ‘Feast’ ‘...I pushed away from the sticky, stringy thoughts in my brain and followed the dried river of bile around the counter. I got down onto my knees before the vomit as if it were my very own god...’ reminding me why I love the horror genre so much.
Little Darkness is a companion book and I thought this section was the strongest of all three because it had quite a few of my favorites such as ‘Lonely Hills’ by Edward Suggs, ‘The Call of the Sea’ by Austin Slade Perry featuring horrifying siren songs, ‘Eyes’ by Becca Rose, a wronged woman’s tale.
Darkness Between is the brand new section that features poetry, flash fiction and short stories. The best story of the whole book, the one that stood out the most over-all was the fully creepy ‘The Green Window’ by Sophie Queen about a window that glows green in an apartment. ‘Only Darkness Remains’ by Jonathan Reddoch is a quick little thrill as well.
As I mentioned the first go around with Collective Darkness, great care was taken in putting together this book with the community of writers and everyone who contributes to the success of this anthology. A really great stepping stone book for young soon-to-be horror fans. -
3.5* -4*
If you like anthology you may love this. Full of suspenseful short horror.
Red Flag was probably the best one of the lot. Loved the twist in that one.
I will say most of them lacked atmosphere, but all were well written and certainly gripping enough to finish.
Great for a horror lover looking for some quick reads. -
Diverse group of spooky stories
There are a lot of different kinds of spooky stories in this collections. And they range in length from few paragraphs to 5000 words. Would recommend for anyone that likes scary stories. Not too extreme but some violence and blood.
