Reviews for Waiting for October

[lesleydawn · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This is an excellent collection of short horror fiction. I couldn't put it down. I've been a fan of Jeff Strand and Sarah Pinsborough for a long time, but this was my first encounter with Adam Pepper and Jeffrey Thomas. All 12 stories were well written, some with a touch of humor and others with a touch of gore. Fabulous. The only downfall of the collection is that it was too short. I could have read twice as many, and still not have tired.
