Review: SHORT HORROR STORIES VOLUME 9 (SCARE STREET)

5 Stars

This consistently excellent series continues with two I rate as SCARY, and one in which for me the Scare was overlain by sorrow and grief.

"Gambling" by Ron Ripley : Foolishness is an unfortunate trait of Youth, whether it's racing, pranks, alcohol, controlled substances. In this case, it's pride and egotism, pricked by a dare and a wager. Implacable horror!

"Shadow Creature " by Anna Sinjin: I empathized with the protagonist. What she has to encounter should not happen to anyone. Again, implacable horror.

"Born Tonight " by Rowan Rook: historical French story weaving actual events. So sad.
