Scott Cole, Ben Long, John Durgin, Kelly Brocklehurst, Danielle Ramaekers, Ronaldo Katwaroo, Julie Sevens, Andrew Robert, Jay Alexander, Damien Casey, Nat Whiston, Chelsea Paravel, Max Christmas, Leeroy Cross James, Wendy Dalrymple, Jena Brown, Fox Claret Hill, Nicholas A. Battaglia
Full disclosure: this is one of two beach vacation horror anthologies that I edited for DarkLit Press. So while I played a role in this release, as a reader I also stand behind it as an entertaining and diverse collection of horror. I hope everyone enjoys this offering, and I appreciate DarkLit for allowing me to work on this project!
Anyone interested in reading Beach Bodies will be happy to know that this is just one of TWO beach vacation horror anthologies. Be sure to check out Slice of Paradise as well!

My first Riley Sager. All his stuff gets such high praise, but I found this one lacking, boring in the middle, and frustrating at the end. More thoughts when I have time, but perhaps I’m the exception to the fan base? Now to decide if I should read LOCK EVERY DOOR.
Monstress lays out an epic tale of warring factions, racism, classism, violence, and monsters. The art is simply gorgeous, and the storyline is intricately plotted with complex characters and heart-racing events. As I read, I got hints of Shadow of Colossus, Skyrim, Bloodborne, and Saga – though it is certainly a series that stands apart from the rest. This may fit best in the fantasy genre, yet there are very real elements of horror. Yes, there are scenes involving demons and monsters, but it’s the scenes showcasing the sick depravity and malice of people towards other races/social classes that are truly disturbing.

DNF around 25% in. Just couldn't take it anymore. Coming off the heels of Camus's The Stranger, this book pales in comparison. Too over-the-top, too much telling while also being too confusing, too full of itself.
