"collection of original stories by some of today s top authors of horror, dark fantasy, and science fiction. Each tale draws strange inspiration from classic folks songs and murder ballads from around the world. " (publisher's note)
Jonathan Mayberry is editor of a collection of short stories by
current writers of "horror, dark fantasy and science fiction."
Each tale ends with a discussion of the unusual source of inspiration.
The contributors are also introduced in a section named as such.
I enjoyed the brevity and imaginative flair these authors exercised.
In some cases, I felt the story could have been told without the overuse of certain expletives.
I find that annoying and unnecessary.
Actually, it was an interesting read and an opportunity to
make time for short stories.
4 ★ for content (excluding"drama phrases").
