Irish Gothic: Tales of Celtic Horror by Ronald Kelly

The Spawn of Arget Bethir ★★★★★ 
A young monk has violent dreams that lead him to discover the legends that tore apart his family.  Kelly combines The Book of Kells and werewolves to create a legend that deserves its own series!

Postcard from Kilkenny ★★★★½ 
A man receives a postcard from his long lost uncle, an uncle who should be dead, an uncle who was rumored to be a vampire.  Kelly even managed to slip in a joke about his vampire novel Blood Kin, a book Graeme recommended!

Miscreations: Gods, Monstrosities & Other Horror

My Knowing Glance by Lucy Snyder ★★★★½ 
“It’s just more satisfying to think that he died out of a deep, soul-wrenching despair rather than garden-variety cowardice.”

Type 5 Armageddon Hellspawn, batter up!  Gory, violent, and entertaining, Lucy Snyder hits a home run!

One Last Transformation by Josh Malerman ★★★★☆ 
Shudder.  Maybe because I have been binge watching Criminal Minds, but that felt real in an unsightly way.
