Thank you to Lyndsey Smith and Horrorsmith Publishing for providing a review copy.
I always love anthologies with a theme. It's so interesting to see how authors interpret the prompt - in this case, the stories revolve around a forge or a blacksmith. I really enjoyed this collection and I'm excited to see what Horrorsmith has in store for the future.
