Some stories not appropriate for a young audience

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2019

Verified Purchase

The theme for this collection of very short stories is monsters lurking in water. They featured sirens, kelpies, leviathans, mermaids, Poseidon, and one story even had a mechanical shark at a sea-themed amusement park. I picked this up with the thought that I’m a fan of dark, haunting stories and I love fantasy creatures of the deep and I loved that idea that this had different types of creatures and wasn’t just centered on mermaids (though I’m surprised no one did a story on Loch Ness). As with any collection, I liked some better than others. And others I skipped through just plain trying to find where the next story started (specifically those were the several that had swearwords or were just plain gross and gory or had sexual violence in them. BTW, this collection is definitely not appropriate for a young audience, even though some of the stories are aimed at a teen audience). Gina Watson’s Enticing Waters I liked, but it ended too abruptly. My personal favorites were K.C. Finn’s Crescent Creature which was haunting, Song of the Ocean by Scott Butler (I love a sweet teen romance! And I loved the main guy in it awkward as he was), Dark Waters by Michael Cross & Emma Michaels (I could almost see it as the beginning of a larger tale), and Bloodslick by Timothy Black (which, yes, was gory, but it was intriguing as a murder mystery).

Lurking In The Deep Anthology is an enjoyable, chilling read!

Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2015

Lurking In The Deep Anthology is an enjoyable, chilling read! The stories reminded me of lovely tales told around the fire or when among friends. Many of the stories had the lyrical quality of Folk Tales that'd been handed down through generations; some meant to warn...others to instruct...but all definitely entertained the reader!

The entire collection proved to be well written, full of twists and turns! I had a few that truly caught my attention the The Reluctant Seamstress, Widow's Cut and Crescent's Creature! But overall each author in the anthology provided a thoroughly enjoyable experience!

Excellent collection!

Editor needed.

Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2015

I appreciate anthologies, and this one caught my eye. The stories all relate to water. Alas, some are much better than others, and an editor is sorely needed for almost all the tales. When the "chain grew taught" and the "song began to waiver" and it "dried to the course surface" and "it flicked its tale" I begin to get weary and start to rush through the pages. So, great idea, some interesting stories, but disappointing.

Unique stories about our primal fear of that feeling of something brushing your leg under the water

Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2015

Verified Purchase

This collections spans many different kinds of stories, and each author has a unique voice. The theme that ties all the stories together is our fear and our fantasies about what lies beneath the surface of the water. One story in particular, Bloodslick, by Timothy Black was presented at a rollicking pace, and balanced a terror filled story with just enough macabre humor to entrance the reader.

You'll think twice before dipping your toes in the water!

Wonderfully chilling collection of short stories! There are some stories I prefer to others, but I thoroughly enjoyed them all. If you are looking for a mixture of diverse writers and writing styles while seeking a chill, look no further. I truly hope this group of writers comes together again to share with us another set of tales.

Lurking in the Deep By Jaidis Shaw

A well written collection of short stories by various talented Authors. Each story is unique and all based on the "water" either an Ocean, Lake or River. Some are new takes on old spooky tales of creatures of the sea. I enjoyed seeing how each author developed their characters, and stories. All were five star reads.

I strongly recommend Lurking in the Deep to those who love short stories, fantasy creatures, legendary creatures, new aquatic creatures and spooky stories. These stories will make you think twice before you dip your foot into the water!

A thoroughly enjoyable anthology! Well done!

Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2015

I really enjoyed this anthology of stories about the fear of water and the many fantasies so many of us have about what exists in the depths we cannot see. The stories were really terrific and well chosen. I loved reading each author’s unique approach to a single theme, while simultaneously imagining my own scenarios.

Lurking in the Deep is a great anthology from several talented authors. It’s a great read, but be careful … you may be surprised by what you find lurking beneath the cover.

Amazing Read

Reviewed in Australia on May 5, 2015

I am a contributing author to the Lurking in the Deep anthology; this review will be based on the stories of all the other contributing authors. I have been this copy in exchange for an honest review.
Lurking in the Deep is a collection of 16 amazing stories by 16 equally amazing and talented authors. Each story chosen for this anthology has all different aspects of water creatures and the deep. The stories will captivate you and each one is continuously page turning. I could not keep my eyes away from these stories. Some of the stories will make you think and keep you glued to each word.
All in all, Lurking in the Deep is well worth the read. The gripping and creative stories will keep your eyes glued to the page and will make you think.
