I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this before, but in my opinion, horror anthologies are the bees knees! No matter where you are, no matter how much time you have, you can pick one of these bad boys up and just start reading. This is especially the case with this ‘End of the World’ anthology. Over the past week I have dipped in and out of this book during my hectic life (concluding with my little trip to jail – ouch!) and each time I did I was more and more impressed.
There are twelve stories in total (thirteen if you include the foreword) and all at varying lengths. There’s no way I’d be able to pick my favourite as all tend to instill a fear of what the end of the world will bring. Authors include: Hydra M. Star (who also edited the book), Andrea Dean van Scoyoc, Garth von Buchholz, Joseph DeRepentigny, Josephine Seven, Ken Knight, Larry Lefkowitz, Magan Rodriguez, Tibbie X and W. Freedreamer Tinkanesh. All of these authors were new to me (but may not be to others) and I can honestly say I was impressed with each and every one. Each brings a unique element to the book so it doesn’t just feel like the same armageddon ploy on each page. There’s differing dynamics, pace and plot which makes the book an entertaining read.
This book has everything from zombies to greek mythology, mind-numbing horror to sheer comedy. What else could you ask for?

Sounds interesting, I am also a big fan of anthologies… many of the writers I follow I first read in an antho… most of those names I’ve never heard of (although I am very familiar with Andrea Dean van Scoyoc’s work!) and I’ll be reading it and seeing if I can find other favorites…

Glad you found the post interesting Armand.
It’s great you are going to read this anthology (you won’t be sorry!)
With books like this it is essential to create as much awareness as possible in order for the authors to benefit in any real way. I hope you like it enough to spread the word further.
Will be checking out the Kindle version and if I like it enough I’ll do a review… always important to help other authors and play it forward with good karma…
Couldn’t agree more!
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Thanks, for the review. We really do appreciate it.
Most of these authors were unknown to me as well, prior to starting this project, with the exception of Andrea Dean van Scoyoc. I met Andrea years go when I reviewed one of her books, oddly enough.
No problem Hydra, I was happy to do it!
I think it’s good to create awareness of unknown authors, particularly when their work is of such good quality.
Hope everyone gets the publicity they deserve.
Fabulous review and it’s greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the plug too, Armand. 😉
I will be sharing this website via my blog, all my online hang outs and might even mention it in my magazine, Twisted Dreams.
Thanks again!
No problem at all Andrea.
We’re happy to help anyone involved in horror.
Thanks for sharing our website. The more people who learn about our cause the better.
