Learn the lore of a haunted island
Grapple with the undead while robbing graves Halloween night.
Endure a hazing ritual unlike any other.
Deal with a demon at an All Souls’ Day celebration.
See what happens when you court death in the wild.
Battle zombies and cannibals in a quest to stay alive.
Travel back in time to witness the birth of true evil.
Fear prophetic nightmares made manifest.
Come to terms with new ethereal realities.
Befriend a feline to extend earthly life.
This collection from ten talented authors offers ghosts and demons, spirits and zombies, cannibals and killersā¦ even a ferocious animal. Historical and contemporary tales of violence and fright keep readers on the edges of their seats. Thereās something for everyone who loves spine-tingling, bone-chilling, blood-curdling stories.
My Thoughts:
A good mixture of thriller and supernatural quick reads. Whether the reader is into earthly maleficence or ghostly shenanigans,Ā Macabre Sanctuary,Ā is a grab bag of different thrills for those who enjoy them.
As is generally the case when presented with multiple choices, I preferred some of the tales over others. However, that does not mean one is better than another, your tastes will undoubtedly differ than mine. What I can tell you, is that I enjoy a story that keeps me guessing until the end.
Overall, the book was a good one and worth a look.
Due to the number of authors that have contributed to this novel, I’m going to refrain from putting their complete bios and social media/ purchase links here. Below, you will find a photo and a link to their Amazon author page.

I love how you phrase the something-for-everyone recommendation: “Whether the reader is into earthly maleficence or ghostly shenanigans, Macabre Sanctuary, is a grab bag of different thrills for those who enjoy them.” Very clever!
