Howls From the Wreckage: An Anthology of Disaster Horror

Early reviews had me a bit nervous about this one but as it turns out it was a pretty good anthology with a lot of fun aspects and stories that were well written, it all felt very polished as I like to say. The nature of the disasters covered and of the protagonists varies greatly as do the tones and approaches the authors went for. Natural disaster and manmade horrors,

I enjoyed the tidbits about the authors and the images peppered throughout the book, I thought it added a touch of levity in an anthology that could have otherwise been quite heavy.

There was only one story that I didn't care for and I had to read it twice to make sure I didn't miss something and that felt a bit out the left field considering the rest of the anthology, so it might just be that I really do not vibe with that particular author's style. One story, Forever Home, had me bawling in my cat's fur and Link (aforementioned cat) would like to file an official complaint against Chelsea Pumpkins, the author, for subjecting him to this indignity. Long story short, it's a mixed bag, like every anthology, but I enjoyed the vast majority of the entries.

Disclosure: I received a digital review copy of this book from HOWL Society Press through NetGalley.
