4 Out of 5 Ain't Bad

I was given a review copy of Dark Screams Volume 3 in exchange for an honest review. Once again, we have an eclectic mix of stories and authors in Dark Screams Volume 3.

First up is Peter Straub, with âThe Collected Stories of Freddie Prothero.â What has happened to the Peter Straub I admired so much for Ghost Story, Shadowland and Floating Dragon? This story is a mess...nothing but gibberish. So sad.

Next is âGroup of Thirtyâ by Jack Ketchum. This is quite a change of pace for Mr. Ketchum. Jonathan Daniels is a horror author who is asked to speak at a Sci-Fi book club gathering in front of about thirty Sci-Fi enthusiasts. He figures what the hell could happen? He was very wrong...

âNancyâ by Darynda Jones features Nancy, who lives in âAmericaâs Most Haunted City,â Renfield. She claims to be being followed by some kind of ghost. As a result, she is bullied by other students. What follows is a very good ghost story.

âI Love You, Charlie Pearsonâ by Jacqueline Frank. Charlie Pearson is in love with Stacey Wheeler. Who isnât? But, he has not told her because she already has a big and burly football playing boyfriend. But Charlie knows she is better off with him. Stacey is a cheerleader who is failing Math. Charlie offers to tutor her for the upcoming midterm, just to get her alone with him and to convince her that she is in love with him. This was probably my favorite story in this collection. Nice twist at the end.

Last is âThe Lone One and Level Sands Stretch Far Awayâ by Brian Hodge. Marni is a new neighbor who is perfect and in shape. Aidan joins her and her friends in running and urban exploration. They explore abandoned building before they are torn down. He soon finds that some things are not meant to be discovered or forgotten, once seen. I enjoyed this one quite alot.

Once again, Dark Screams Volume 3 is a solid entry in the Dark Screams series. I am looking forward to Volume 4.

Third One and Still Strong

I wanted to give 5 stars but I would say that this gets 4.4. This collection was better than the last one, in my opinion.
