The Captivating Flames of Madness by Jeff Parsons may sound just like any other horror anthology. But, only after reading the book you would be able to know that the book is one of its kind. Each and every story has a different vibe. The first story instantly sucked me in. After that it was an amazing horror ride. Although, the book has already been released, but it is one of the best that I have read this year.
Definitely, 4 stars for the book. Thanks to Author Jeff Parsons for providing me an opportunity to read and review the book.… (más)

I'm afraid this book did not quite live up to my expectations. As an avid horror reader, if you promise me nightmares I'm expecting something far scarier.
While I did enjoy a couple of these stories, for the most part I found them more disturbing than frightening and more draggy than dramatic. The thing about short stories is that you have limited time to engage the reader before the ending. Only a couple of these stories hooked me right away. Others may enjoy this more than I did, but I found myself wanting to skim or skip ahead in search of a scare that never really materialized.
I received a complimentary copy for review.

One thing that I love about collections of short stories is that you get varying stories of genres and characters. And I really enjoyed reading this collection of short stories. I loved the variety of stories that captivated my imagination.
Each of these stories were amazing to read, with varying degrees of tension and shock that made my spine tingle. There were some that I felt were somewhat predictable until the page or paragraph of that story. I thought that it was really clever that many of the stories made you think that the story was headed in one direction but then went seamlessly into another. Or a character turned out to be completely different to how they were first introduced. These twists made me enjoy these stories even more because it just changed the whole narrative. Sometimes in only a few word or a sentence. Which I thought was so clever and well done.
I loved how so many of the stories in this collection were essentially very simple. As the revolved either a very small group of characters, a single character, a small series of events or even just one. Some of them were set over longer periods of time, such as a number of weeks, whereas other were much shorter, some appeared to be set under or around only a few hours long. I really loved how the stories centred around supernatural elements, everyday horrors and science fiction. It made these short stories so enjoyable and made them feel very believable as so many of them where rooted in reality that had been altered and filtered through fear.
There were some stories that I didn’t enjoy as much, but that is kind of to be expected with collections of short stories, not all of them are going to be 100% to your tastes. I liked so many of the stories that I can’t pinpoint a favourite, but here are a few of the ones that I can’t get out of my head The New Order, Control, Witches’ Hill.
I would really recommend reading The Captivating Flames of Madness. Especially if you like reading spooky kind of creepy stories, or if you’re still the mood for reading more spooky books right after Halloween, then I think that you’ll really enjoy this book.… (más)
