I love horror anthologies and I should have clued in when trying to clean up my library and there this book sat, only partly finished. This was boring and not one story was creepy, all were just dumb.

Take for example, the story of the journalist who, when she was a child vacationing on an island with her family, she is blindfolded and lured into a game in the woods by another child, where she almost falls off a cliff to her death. Years later, she returns to this island after body parts of kids keep getting washed up on shore on the main island and they all seem to have this special token in their hands. She remembers that token. Her daughter stows away in the back seat of her car, because of course she does, and the journalist doesn't realize until she is on the ferry or already on the island. Instead of IMMEDIATELY taking the ferry back with her daughter, she decides her investigation is more important, even after talking to some locals and them repeatedly telling her the hag in the water needs to be fed, that she gives to the island, and a sacrifice needs to be made to pay her for making the island successful. She doesn't leave when her daughter starts acting weird saying she has to stay on the island, she doesn't leave when her daughter starts talking to the drain in the bathroom, nor does she keep her daughter glued to her side, she whole heartedly trusts the locals with keeping an eye on her daughter that she leaves alone in the hotel room, only to regret it when she realizes her daughter is to be the next sacrafice.

Not scary, stupid.

Or the old folks who find money at their door and decide that it's to pay for someone who have died to come back. One lady "pays" for her son to return, but not as an adult, because he was a violent douche as an adult and she wished for his death, but the last year she remembers him being sweet. Age 8. One of the neighbours asks for an old roommate he once knew who committed suicide to return, and of course, things don't go as planned. Over time, the mom and the neighbour are unable to leave their apartment because of some unforeseen force that seems to drain them...that's where it ends. That author even tried to pull in the child constantly saying "mommy" in a creepy way to try to make this more horror-esque, but failed.

I called it quits with 3 hours remaining after the nonsensical Math story. Little girl in her family home at the dinner table, fixating on her dinner (the entire story she repeats what is on the plate and that it looks good). Her brother, father and mom all repeatedly asking if she knows Math, she secretly loves math, but pretends not to....the entire story, they are asking her repeatedly if she knows math and asking math questions to try to trip her and find out the truth. We have her saying the right answer in her head, but the wrong one or trying to pretend she doesn't know, out loud. Some men come by and question her and in the end, her brother spills the beans, and they take her away.

This is not subtle horror and really? who TF wants subtle horror?!!! this is a collection of stories by "authors" who have an idea for a book, but not enough for a novella or full-length. Either that or they are testing the reception to their story to see if they will get sales if it were full-length. Eitherway, the answer is this anthology sucked. Every story was stupid.

Every story was stupid
