Others: Mostly positiveA young woman living in a rigid, puritanical society discovers dark powers within herself in this stunning, feminist fantasy debut. In the lands of Bethel, where the Prophet’s word is law, Immanuelle Moore’s very existence is blasphemy. Her mother’s union with an outsider of a different race cast her once-proud family into disgrace, so Immanuelle does her best to worship the Father, follow Holy Protocol, and lead a life of submission, devotion, and absolute conformity, like all the other women in the settlement. But a mishap lures her into the forbidden Darkwood surrounding Bethel, where the first prophet once chased and killed four powerful witches. Their spirits are still lurking there, and they bestow a gift on Immanuelle: the journal of her dead mother, who Immanuelle is shocked to learn once sought sanctuary in the wood. Fascinated by the secrets in the diary, Immanuelle finds herself struggling to understand how her mother could have consorted with the witches. But when she begins to learn grim truths about the Church and its history, she realizes the true threat to Bethel is its own darkness. And she starts to understand that if Bethel is to change, it must begin with her.

Others: Leaning positiveLynnette Tarkington is a real-life final girl who survived a massacre. For more than a decade, she’s been meeting with five other final girls and their therapist in a support group for those who survived the unthinkable, working to put their lives back together. Then one woman misses a meeting, and their worst fears are realized—someone knows about the group and is determined to rip their lives apart again, piece by piece. But the thing about final girls is that no matter how bad the odds, how dark the night, how sharp the knife, they will never, ever give up.

MixedI just love the artwork so much... i gave this four stars because i do really love it but the only thing i will say is if it weren't for the artwork i don't think i would love it as much because the endings of all the stories just fell a little bit flat to me
Loved itI'm not a big horror fan myself but I really enjoyed this collection and I think even though it is creepy and bit gross in places it worked really well
Loved itIt was such an enjoyable read, and definitely book that I would recommend for reading around the Halloween time of year.
Loved itthis beautiful scary, sort of hauntinggraphic novel with all these separate stories in it. It's absolutely gorgeousIt is creepy, Don’t read this at night.
