review 1: Unfortunately, like with many anthologies, I had to wade through a bunch of crappy short stories before I reached the good stuff. Pretty much every story that was not written by a major author like the ones listed on the front of the book was a bust. The ones that were the worst though were the stories that glorified and worshipped the main characters who were gay or lesbian. The graphic content in those stories should have insured that they never made it into a book for people younger than adults! Being hideously surprised by those stories majorly lowered my enjoyment of this book. I am very disappointed with the publisher of this book for not putting a warning in the book about these stories or for even including them at all! Hopefully, other people are able to loo... morek past these horrific stories to see the few good ones hidden throughout the book.
review 2: Another great anthology, this was full of creepy tales, vampires, dark thoughts, secrets, and all sorts of things that are hidden in the dark ;) There are loads of great authors that contributed like Beth Revis, Jackson Pearce, Sarah Ockler, Rachel Hawkins, Carrie Ryan, and even more! There were a few stories I didn't relate to as much but there were some that were absolutely gorgeous and I loved! So even if there are a couple stories that you don't like there are some really great ones too :) less

Only read Dia Reeves' short story, because I NEED her to write another Portero novel.

A few good stories, a few disturbing ones and some that lacked a satisfying ending.
