Welcome Book Lovers

My name is Cyn and each Thursday (not to mention Fridays and Sundays) myself and my BBFF (the extra B is for book LOL) Ann from over at Romancing the Readers blog together.

i really tried, but... 

 



One hundred stories and poems. One hundred words each. Contributed by a diverse group of authors from across the globe, these tiny terrors run the full gamut of horror, from body horror and blood-curdling fear to atmospheric, lyrical Gothic tales. You’ll find haunted houses, burrowing parasites and suburban nightmares aplenty to delight, amuse and shock—all in an easy bitesize format.


Just don’t read them in the house alone!

(Please note this title contains dark themes that may trigger sensitive readers.)


I've been posting quite a bit about this book prior to today but there's a reason - seriously...

NOT A BAD STORY IN THE BUNCH - BUY IT

So "just because" I LOVED it so much- it's my feature today!

I mean if the opening poem from Emily Dickinson does not hook you then you're probably already dead! Joking aside, the inclusion of that poem gives you immediate insight into the what lies ahead in this collection of 100 word tales/poems.

Yes, some of the works shine brighter then the others, but again IMHO it's well worth the purchase. There are too many stand outs(seriously without naming just about everyone LOL) but I will admit that some of my very very very very favorites include ones by Antonia Rachel Ward (all of them),Benjamin Bateman(all of them), K.J. Watson (all of them), Alexis DuBon, Taylor DePrince, Tyler Norton, Steve Neal, and Gordon B White to name a handful.
