I'm usually pretty meh about YA anthologies (because for the most part, I don't think teens are drawn to them), but horror lends itself well to short stories! This was a pretty good mix of stories, with a lot of the authors taking tropes that we know from horror and adding their own spin on them. Definitely would be a great anthology to read during spooky season!
Graphic: Body horror, Violence, Blood
Moderate: Death, Grief, Death of parent
