I give this collection a 4.
Writing a description
for an anthology is difficult and since I’m not going to describe each
individual story, I’ll be brief and precise. This is a collection of eerie stories.
“Things that go bump in the night” maybe a title associated with this
collection, but I’m not sure. I do know that it looks scarier than it actually is,
but it’s still pretty creepy.
My overall experience
of the stories was good. They were very creative. A few formatting issues made
one story hard to read, but if you really want to read something, you will. The
stories that stood out the most to me were the title feature “If I Should Die
Before I Wake,” “Brush With Something Otherworldly,” “The Winter Storms Have
Come and Gone,” and “The Tornadoes are Beautiful.” I think the best thing about
this and other collections is the variety. I think there really is something
here for everyone. I purchased this collection originally because it was for a
good cause, which is why I took my time reading it. I wasn’t in a hurry, but
now I wish I had been. There is some really good stuff here.
