Nicole Willson has been a frequent visitor to small coastal towns located along the Eastern seaboard but has yet to see anything truly alarming emerge from those waters, much to her disappointment. She’s hopeful that her lifelong aversion to eating fish or seafood might earn her a little mercy when the hungry ocean gods finally start coming ashore.
Her debut horror novel TIDEPOOL is a Bram Stoker Award nominee for Superior Achievement in a First Novel and is out with Parliament House Press. Her short fiction has appeared in anthologies published by Cemetery Gates Media. She is a regular contributor to Hinged, a prompt-based writing challenge on Medium.com. She also writes and runs her own Medium publication "50-Word Horror Stories."

The stand-out short, for me, I’ll say straight up front, was Nick Kolakowski’s “Why Bob Lee came back”, just fantastic, that’s the second time I’ve read an anthology and his story has leapt to the fore, I’ll be buying more of his stuff this summer. Everything about his short – from voice to presentation, to the killer first line – Nick, you nailed it. Great stuff.
Most of the shorts were good, another noteworthy addition was from Catherine McCarthy, again bringing her distinctive touch to the party (the queen of atmosphere, you can almost touch and smell the chapel, the light dappling through the windows…), and I discovered some new (for me) authors I’ll be checking out in the coming weeks. There were a couple of shorts that didn't resound with me, but the writing, on the whole, was good, very little to find fault with here.
Overall I think this was a strong anthology, I’m giving it 4 out of 5 ⭐ ‘s, and have some more names to invest my money in.
