Read by Dawn is a collection of 28 short horror stories of natural and supernatural horror. The story telling styles are as varied as the author who wrote them and range, as many anthologies do, from fair to excellent. A few that really caught my attention were: What Will Happen When You are Gone by Jeffory Jacobson, where a couple go to buy a ranch home and discover that it is much more than it seems, Wendy by Ryan Cooper, the horrifying story of a man who can’t let go of a childhood friend, Windchimes by Paul Kane, the chilling story of a father’s loss, and finally Coming to a Close by Aurelio Rico Lopez III, the brutal tale of a woman who is kidnapped and abused with an ending that just gave me the chills. Though a few of the stories really didn’t really catch my interest the ones that did made up for them by far. ( )
