Do not read this book just before bedtime. If you do, you're just setting yourself up for a sleepless night, watching the shadows grow and dance and become all kinds of scary creepy monsters, ready to eat you up. In other words, Fear the Reaper, an anthology published by Crystal Lake Publishing, is going to mindfreak you like it's nobody's business. The anthology revolves around the Grim Reaper, so obviously you can expect a lot of death, but every story - unique in its own way - has a distinctive take on ol' Death.
Fear the Reaper is a very ambiguous anthology: you have your usual horror thrills and chills to look forward to, don't worry, but hidden between the lines is some surprisingly deep themes.
There's also a lot of variety to look forward to.
All in all, I liked it. I liked the cover art (don't know if you've ever noticed, but my screen-name is The_Reaper - wink, wink, wink). I enjoyed the stories. I loved reading between the lines in search of that ambiguous meaning/theme (I do that for some weird reason). Basically, I think it's a wonderful horror anthology to chill to, and if you're in the mood to have your blood run cold, then you should definitely pick it up.
