This story is amazing!! This is what literary horror looks like. The story draws you in and does not let go until the very last word is written. Gollitok is an old prison ground on an isolated island. The government sends Varka to join a crew of people to determine what happened to the prisoners, the guards, and the warden. As soon as Varka sets foot on a small boat to take him and his colleague to the island, everything begins to go wrong. Between personal vendettas and unknown ‘things’ prowling the island – there is no telling what Gollitok’s history has to tell them.

  Here is an anthology of stories by some of Books of Horror’s fabulous women. Each story carries the distinct, amazing voices of these women. There is no way anyone can pick a favorite in this book. Below, I share the synopsis of each story. One For Sorrow by AJ Mullican. A young lady crosses paths with a crow. A dark and twisted story. A fantastic story to lead us into this anthology.  The Watcher by Angelique Jordanna. Aja has a stalker who is looking after her. I haven’t read many Jordanna stories, but this one seems different from what I have read. I absolutely think this story is so unique and amazing.  Admission by Rayne Havok.

A woman is grieving her husband’s death. I was blown away by this story. So many twists and turns and the ending was so unexpected. Stay Awhile by Donna Latham. Lilly has a f...

  Question: What do you get when a meteorite lands in your yard and prairie dogs go psycho? Answer: Frost Bite by Angela Sylvaine This story is amazing and undoubtedly one-of-a-kind. There is something for everyone in this book. Nostalgia, horror, blood and guts, friendship and family, laughing, crying, and getting anxious. It’s a story that has it all. It’s fast-paced and keeps you wanting more. It’s the perfect book for anyone looking for a good, reminiscent story, and a scare. When a meteorite lands next to Realene’s home, she and her best friend Nate, spend hours trying to protect the ones they love and survive an apocalyptic event that is spreading through the town.  The character development and world building is just right to get absorbed and lost in the story right away. The writing is smooth and not once was I ever taken out of the story. The main characters, Realene and Nate, are totally relatable and authentic. The scenes all throughout the story were written well a...
