This is the third (and currently last) anthology from Dark Delicacies’s owner Del Howison; you can read my reviews of the other two books here and here.
I loved this volume the most of the three; the theme this time is haunted, and all the stories have a creepy edge to them. The last story, “The Architecture of Snow,” is amazing for it’s character development and plot shifts in such a relatively short span. “Tyler’s Third Act” is sick in a really good way; to what lengths would you go if you reached your limit? And the first story, “Children of the Vortex,” will remind you of a bizarre, deeper, scarier “The Human Centipede” with some very chilling results.
If you like horror or just a good read, you should pick up all three of these anthologies – I hope more will come along, these are excellent collections!

30. I have been surfing online more than 3 hours nowadays, but I never discovered any fascinating article like yours. It is lovely worth sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made excellent content as you did, the web will probably be a lot more useful than ever before.
