Book Description

January 11, 2012
Just when you thought it was safe to crawl back into bed . . . we’ve got a new set or terrors! If Night Terrors made you pray for dawn, Volume II will send you into total madness. Step inside the secret chambers of the Vatican and experience the dark side of the papal elections. Meet people only a mother could love; listen to the dead speak, and even more disturbing, hear them cry. Discover the darkness that lives inside the hearts of man, and hide from other worldly tormentors . . . and, if you manage to wake up after these night terrors . . . you’ll wake up dead!

"In conclusion, various , good new authors to watch and an interesting imprint to which we’d better keep an eye on in the future." British Fantasy Society

"Overall, one particular strength of “Night Terrors II” is that the writers all understand the importance of atmosphere, creating a sense of dread through character, setting and language, rather than leaning on gore. There are some shocking jolts and graphic violence—the authors don’t shy away from it—but they are just that, punctuations within an already well crafted motif of terror." - The Horror Review

REVIEWED: Night Terrors II: An Anthology of Horror
EDITED BY: Theresa Dillon and Marc Ciccarone
PUBLISHED: January, 2012

Great collection of non-themed horror by skilled authors of the short story. As with all anthologies, some stories shine, while others seem a bit lacking. However, this book showcases such a variety of voices and ideas it would seem near-impossible for anyone to not read it and fall in love with something. Some stories of note include:

"Darkly Dreaming in Black Waters" by Jason Andrew = One of my favorites in this anthology. A WWII naval tale of the discovery of an abandoned Nazi submarine, and then the further discovery of what happened to it.
"Revivified" Maria Alexander = Chilling and fascinating exploration of events before an apocalyptic event... really left me wanting to see this expanded into a full-length novel.
"A Mother's Love" by John Peters = Bizarre and nightmarish journey of a woman who attempts to bring back her kidnapped son... and the consequences of her success.
"Habemus Papam," by Desmond Warzel = The opening tale was a quick flash fiction, but thought-provoking with a diabolical suggestion.
"At Winter's End," by Brad C. Hodson = Another atmospheric and disturbing tale of an old man's thoughts and fears at night during post-surgery.
"One For the Road," by Jason V Brock = A classic Hitchcockian take of a woman's plight during a late night rest stop. A suspenseful thriller, filled with dark atmosphere.
"Origin Story,' by Christopher Hawkins = Tightly woven tale of the search for meaning by a pair of comic book store workers. Absorbing and funny.
"Hi Ted," by David Bischoff = Awesome, humorous tale of dark fantasy and the things that inspire it.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVED IT!!! November 13, 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I admit, I was only going to drop by Night Terrors II for a few quick minutes of submission research reading: preview, read, and run. As a diehard horror fan, I often despair I've seen and heard it all, not to mention the fact that--to me, at least, an unapologetic grammar/craft pedant--the quality of many horror anthologies is often hit-or-miss.

Bottom line? I wasn't *not* expecting anything, but I wasn't *expecting* anything, either...but, by the time I'd finished blazing through full previews by Desmond Warzel, John Peters, and the maddeningly taunting half-preview by Madhvi Ramani, I couldn't click 'order' quickly enough.

I was sucked in.

I wish I had time to indivually summarize each story, but that would entail *at least* a full week's worth of agonizing. Instead, I invite you to take my word for it: if you love horror fiction (even you, thou most jaded of horror buffs!), there's something--probably numerous *somethings,* given the size of this collection--here for every taste. Serial killers? Check. Psychological horror? Check. Slasher? Check. Outstanding writing? Yes, even that, and the list goes on and on. Granted, as with any collection, some stories are better than others, but I GUARANTEE you will be entertained.

With 28 stories and almost 250 pages, that is a LOT of bang for your three Kindle bucks--hell, I'd even recommend springing for the paperback. The only thing that could've made this read more enjoyable would've been the ability to read it like a book is best read: in the pulp, well-worn, well-waterspotted, and without burning its own shape into my lap for hours on end. ;D

Seriously. Get this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome anthology. June 24, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This awesome anthology is entertaining, an asset for every horror collection. The stories are well written and some of the conclusions are shocking. The morbid suspense is exciting, the macabre settings and situations are sick. One killer thriller after another, traumatic terror will haunt the mind of the reader.
I will keep this anthology in my Kindle collection, as I plan to read this again and again. I would recommend this book to my friends, especially friends that are fans of Death Metal music and Horror film. The monsters and madmen contained in this volume are satisfactory inspiration for the insane imagination.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful miss mash of stories. December 10, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I love short stories. This book, while it has a lot of really good stories, you HAVE to read A Mother's Love. John Peters wrote an amazing short story, with a ending that is not what you expect. The next story that jumps, is actually right after a mother's love, the Prophet, John Morgan. Yet another surprise ending, and one I had not come across before. Again, lot of good stories. While I did not enjoy every one, this book has something for everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars A feast for horror lovers October 17, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Night Terrors II: An Anthology of Horror is a veritable feast of horror fiction with 28 stories that should suit horror fans of all tastes. There are stories with monsters, ghosts, demons, pyscho killers and just about everything in between that you can think of. Rarely in an anthology do I like all the stories, usually it is less than half that appeal, but I can say in Night Terrors II I enjoyed every single story from first to last. However, there are some stories that I liked more than others and that lingered after I had finished the book.

Honourable mentions include:
'Worms in the walls of my mind' by G.K Hayes - a stomach turning and thought provoking flash fiction.
'Until I come again' by Justin Gustainis - a beautifully written little guilty pleasure for fans of Bram Stoker.
'Origin Story' by Christopher Hawkins - a nice dark take on superhero lore with some twisted humour.
'Untouchable' by Amanda C. Davis - a chilling flash piece that shows a different angle on some well worn horror territory.
'Hi Ted' by David Bischoff - dark humour at its finest.
'All Cry' by Patricia Russo - the actions of the characters in this atmospheric piece really make you wonder what you would do in a similar situation.
'A mother's love' by John Peters - I don't normally like stories written in present tense, but this dark tale is well written and carries a satisfying punch.

My favourite story of the anthology goes to 'Revivified' by Maria Alexander. I made the mistake of reading this story late at night before going to bed and I found it very hard to make it upstairs after reading it! Even now, several days after finishing the anthology, this story is still haunting me.
