Valancourt Books never ceases to amaze me and this company is always doing new things. With this anthology, they have looked all over the world, reading horror works from dozens of countries in close to twenty languages in order to find incredible and underrepresented contemporary international and translated horror stories. WHAT?? There was no way to say no to this one!

If you are unsure where to begin in your horror journey, this anthology will bring you some stories from all over the world without having to put on a mask or leave your house to experience. As true with most collections and anthologies, not every story is a 5 star smash hit... but that does not mean that each story did not unnerve me, bother me, or scare me in one way or another with varying degrees. You can expect to be entertained by every story in these pages for sure!

The Time Remaining by Attila Veres (from Hungary) is my absolute favorite here... it was so so good! I need more just like this! I also LOVED All the Birds by Yvette Tan (from Philippines) as I am a huge grief horror fan lately. Both of these stories are 5 stars and worth this anthology alone in my opinion.

Fans of international horror or literature will eat these stories up and I definitely recommend this for yourself or to gift to others! Just think of ALL the horror stories around the world we still have no concept of... and all the new scares that await! 4 stars!
