Out There Screaming by Jordan Peele, John Joseph Adams
4.5
dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This was a solid collection with so many amazing stories that hit pretty much every sub-genre of horror.  I had so many 5 star reads but when I averaged it all out, 4.5 is what the anthology turns out to be!
