Editorial Reviews

Review

A The Millions Most Anticipated Book of the Month

"An anthology of horror fiction from some of today's most innovative names in fiction. The stories are uniformly short, which means you can read the book in one spooky sitting, or spread the scares out." —
O, The Oprah Magazine

"These tales might be small, but they have lasting power." —Jordan Snowden,
The Seattle Times

"You’ll be impressed how quickly you can be unsettled." —John Warner,
Chicago Tribune

"
Tiny Nightmares is absolutely perfect if you have a hard time focusing on anything right now and if you love to be scared . . . It’s bone–chilling, timely, thought–provoking, and a lot of fun." —Arianna Rebolini, BuzzFeed

"A collection of bite–sized horror stories from a sprawling cast of new and veteran writers. In the book, no monster is too outlandish or too real––there is horror in vampires who mend their own broken hearts, just as there is horror in global warming and online radicalization." —Scout Brobst,
Willamette Week

"Can't commit to a full novel? These short stories are scary as hell and best of all, you can finish each one while you're actually sitting on the beach. If the summer is a little too sunny, this book is a great way to get your moodiness on." —
Fatherly, Best Summer Read

"An exquisite collection of short stories perfect for spooky season . . . Whether you prefer a classic ghost story, a near–future dystopia, or a far–future tale of space horror, you’ll find something to your liking here . . . An excellent treasury of short horror fiction that belongs on the shelves of every reader who enjoys a good little scare." —Doreen Sheridan,
Criminal Element

"Utterly spectacular . . . How can you not be drawn into this book? . . . There are so many astonishing turns of phrases and details in these very small stories." —A. Poythress, The Rumpus

"Masterful . . . In fewer than 1,500 words, each of these vivid, visceral tales engages with horrors with striking immediacy. This carefully crafted and genuinely scary collection is sure to impress." —
Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Outstanding . . . These flash fiction stories should be read during the day lest they lead to tiny nightmares for the readers . . . Highly recommended."—
Booklist (starred review)

"These are achingly brief but exquisitely crafted fragments of horror . . . The book is delightfully unpredictable . . . Fans of innovative horror films like
Get Out and Us will have a blast . . . Sick and twisted and troubling: Reading it is like stumbling on an old horror movie on TV in the middle of the night." —Kirkus Reviews

"Fascinating, compelling, and entertaining horror stories told with 1,500 words or fewer that lack for nothing in the anxiety and dread department. Each tale balances word count and terror with the accuracy of a marksman, creating characters and situations that reel readers in . . . A better entry into the world of horror as it stands today would be hard to find. The short, but never sweet, tales surprise as they unsettle and terrify." —
Library Journal

"Lincoln Michel and Nadxieli Nieto prepare a healthy serving of horror to inject straight into your head, heart, blims, and viscera . . . A fusillade of fear." —Eric Ponce,
BookPage

"I could gorge myself all day and night on these macabre, hellish little literary bonbons—
Tiny Nightmares is an absolute treat." —Carmen Maria Machado, author of Her Body and Other Parties and In the Dream House

"Like a spider on a pillow or a mass on an X–ray, the stories in this collection might be tiny, but they produce outsize fear, revulsion, and wonder. Be warned and be delighted." —Benjamin Percy, author of
Suicide Woods, The Dark Net, Thrill Me, and Red Moon

Tiny Pockets of Horror
These short stories were absolute pockets of horror. Tiny and adorably terrifying. First off, I loved the cover art and illustrations. This really made the reading experience that much more enjoyable!Now for a few of my highlights:Samatha Hunt’s Rearview was a different take on addiction horror. The idea of losing yourself, running away, and succeeding in putting your past behind you is something we’ve all coveted. The horror behind this; sometimes we can’t escape and the unthinkable happens anyway.Lone by Jac Jemc is a twist on survival horror. And takes women empowerment and turns it on its head. As a woman I can relate to this character; wanting to be independent, feeling like I can make myself safe. Just became I’m a woman doesn’t mean I can’t camp alone, does it?The Wheat Woman by Theresa Hottel was so poignant it was almost painful to read. A mother and her 10 year old daughter; almost strangers living in the same house. Poor mama feels inadequate; as a mother and as someone living on land that’s not her own. And then the other, the Wheat Woman, of the land. Belongs here. Who will the daughter choose?Candy Boii by Sam J Miller quite frankly scared me to death. Online dating scares me to death. The anonymity. People hiding behind a shell of who they really are. Who are you actually interacting with? Did they possibly know you from before? Creepy Shivers all over...This is the perfect book if you have 10 minutes and just want a quick entertaining read! It’s also the perfect book of you want to binge read 25 stories in a row before bed!
