I received a copy of this book from one of the authors for an honest review.
Tales From the Mists is a horror anthology. Each story is set in its own bone chilling world. You won’t find the slasher horror in this book. Each story plays on psychological fears and makes you wonder how you would fare in their individual world.
Since this is an anthology, I’m not going to go into detail about the stories. There were some I liked and some I didn’t. I wasn’t completely chilled to the bone, but each story was a quick read that I could see being scary for other readers. They did inspire me to want to learn more about their individual worlds.
The writing styles aren’t completely different. Even though each story was written by a different person, they felt a part of the same book. Which is good because they were.
All in all, the book was a nice quick read and would have been better if I chose to read it at night or during a storm.
