“Their eyes were little more than slits, and their mouths once a delicate shade of blue, were now black, stretched into gruesome O’s.”

Slasher Girls & Monster Boys was the first book I picked up for my Halloween-themed October and it was fantastic. I’m not a huge anthology fan, but this collection of horror stories was frightfully fascinating.

From my review:

“Ghosts, murderers, and death bring plenty of frights in this horror anthology. Inspired by various mediums from films to classic horror novels to music, these fourteen short stories are filled with thrills, twists, and trepidation. And just when you think you have a story figured out, the surprises are fierce yet strangely satisfying.” See my full review here.
