"What do you get when a group of hot new authors writes a horror anthology? Scared! The Evil Within is perfect for horror fans. Even newcomers to the genre, Amber and Rachel, send shivers down your spine. Rachel even worked in her snark-horror style! Matt Posner has a tale of an experiment gone horribly wrong, while Cristyn is quickly becoming the go-to author for serial-killer thrillers. This time it's little girls that are missing. After reading this you will definitely be putting these authors books on your wish list."

Overview:
The hiss of hot breath coming from inside the coat closet.

The noxious odor of plastic smothering your face as you fight to breathe.

The nagging feeling that someone is watching your every move...waiting.

Vengeance. Misplaced trust. Pure evil.

After
reading these 9 chilling tales this Halloween, how many times will you
soothe yourself in the dark thinking "there are no monsters"?

Acclaim for The Evil Within...
"Given that Cristyn West is one of our favorite thriller writers, we expected a lot out of The Evil Within... And we were not disappointed! First off, there isn't just one Cristyn short (a Harbinger story to boot), but two! Then we were pleasantly surprised at the range and talent displayed by the other authors. We definitely needed to keep the lights on to read this one! Great job!"

"What an anthology! Each story gets under your skin and makes it crawl, which we don't think could be higher praise for a horror collection! From zombies to serial killers to ghosts, this anthology has it all. Be warned though, the last story, "Supper," is NOT for the faint of heart. We also strongly recommend reading this during the day, with plenty of people around!"

The Evil Within Anthology

The Evil Within, the first Indie Book Collective Anthology, written by Amber Scott, Cristyn West, Kelli McCracken, Matt Posner, Patricia McCallum, and Elena Gray is a fantastic, "fear fest" compilation. I was able to read this quickly and was completely enthralled from beginning to end.

Dirt Nap by Amber Scott: Buried Alive? When Darby wakes to find herself wrapped in plastic surrounded by dirt, she doesn't let panic set in, knowing her oxygen is limited. After breaking free, the confusion sets in and she calls her best friend. As the memories unfold, she learns the truth of what happened, and of Zombies. *grins*

Dark Lullaby by Cristyn West: I just loved this one. When a twelve year old is being stalked by a serial killer, a world reknown profiler steps in to solve the case. Murder hits a little too close to home before the clues are fully clear. Awesome!

Screaming Skin by Matt Posner: One heck of an imagination that left my own skin crawling. Exactly how things can go wrong in the research industry. Brilliant!

The Face of Evil by Kelli McCracken: Sometimes Churches hold the evil within. Leslie knew there was something odd about this church, but when a demon tries to take her soul, she got more than she bargained for just being a cleaning lady. *Demons Beware*

Coffee Shop by Patricia McCallum: This one had me wondering. A beautiful young girl falls for gorgeous guy. They meet everyday in this coffee shop where he walks Rose home. The curiosity begins when this man proposes, but doesn't want her to tell anyone, "yet". Hmmm. Wonder why that is. Then WHAM! Sure enough he comes in with another girl, and completely ignores Rose. She's left with no choice but to infuse her rage into his Latte. Ooops, Rose isn't exactly who she seems to be neither! What a surprising ending, so not what I was expecting.

There Are No Monsters by Rachel Thompson: What can I say? I didn't know Rachel had it in her, but boy she did, and she didn't disappoint me neither. Sasha has just watched her fiance' kill himself in a gruesome way. Sent to a psych ward, she meets Dr. Charlie. Working through the monsters from her past, surprising revelations are made and the truth is found; there are indeed monsters! Phenomenal! Another great twist at the end to have your mind reeling *heehee*.

Highland Chills by Elena Gray: This is one that was so captivating, I actually would love to see this as a full out novel. From falling in love with ghosts to possession, oh yeah! I'm so hungry for more!

Supper by Cristyn West: Holy-Throw-Me-Right-Into-A-Wrong-Turn-Movie! I loved this. My stomach was actually turning as I envisioned this supper, and could so see it playing out in my mind's eye. In my head I was screaming, "Don't eat it! Just Don't!" Awesome ending too. Could so see this one in a movie, for sure!

The overall theme of this book couldn't have been said better than by the title itself. The Evil Within is a brilliant compilation of gory, get your heart pumping stories. I strongly recommend this book! Once you get your hands on it, you will see exactly what I mean.

Hands down 5 Stars!

I admit, I'm the type of girl who has to watch horror movies in the middle of the day. So I knew that I'd be terrified when if I read this book. However, I adore each author who contributed so it was a must read on my Kindle.

Yeah...I slept with the lights on for 2 days. This book totally freaked me out. In a good way. Horror fans will love this book. I enjoyed it even though I spent a week looking in all my closets and under the bed before I went to bed.

Kudos!

4.0 out of 5 stars Do you think the cover is scary... Then read the book, December 1, 2011

I enjoy this Anthology, I enjoy the stories, I turn on the light on a couple of them... If you love the adrenaline rush, feel the cold of terror, this is a must read.

Don't believe me, turn the lights off, and read... (I say turn the lights off, you are not allowed to be afraid or turn them on, and most likely you will, because it is that scary)
