Devil's Night by Curtis M. Lawson, Joe Morey
2.0
Book graciously provided by Mr. Lawson in exchange for an honest review
So being a Michigander who lives near Detroit, the concept of Devil's Night is a familiar one. When offered a horror anthology based upon this chaotic night, I jumped at the chance. So... What happened?
As another reviewer mentioned, in certain stories Devil's Night played almost no part. While I can only point out one story that absolutely did not work, I was left feeling disappointed. However, my expectations were my own and not the author's fault.
If you can divorce the stories from the theme of Devil's Night, they are completely serviceable and a fun time. While this wasn't for me (as my rating shows), this would be an absolutely enjoyable experience for someone looking to dip a little deeper into the horror genre.
