Knee Deep in Little Devils is an interesting little collection of short stories, artwork, and haikus. From what I gather, it's put together by a group of writers and friends who meet biweekly to share work and inspire one another, which gives the anthology something unique. That said, I found it to be hit-and-miss overall. I wasn't a fan of most of the artwork, and the haikus felt out of place, strange, and like empty place-holders.

As for the stories, while half or so of them were 3-star reads or less for me due to lackluster plots or writing that I couldn't get into, a few were absolute gems! My particular favorites were the first two stories, A Check-Up for Mr. Bangles and A Walk in the Park. The first of these stories follows a father whose little girl is convinced her doll is dying, and he finds some peculiar things when examining the toy. The second story is about a man walking through the park late at night, determined to find anything to be afraid of, and it really is a fun reminder of how hard we horror fans might try to frighten ourselves sometimes. The other story I wanted to mention is Dead Dog Gone, a surprisingly adorable story about a woman who finds a hellhound on Halloween and decides to keep him as a pet.

Altogether, Knee Deep in Little Devils is a mixed bag, but if you're looking for some fun flash fiction to entertain yourself with on Halloween, I think it's worth giving a shot.

Thank you so much to WorD Publishing-pgh for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review!
