about book:
A chilling anthology of nineteen stories of cursed and haunted books; featuring malevolent second-hand books, cursed novelizations, unsettling journals and the end of the world. From award-winning authors including: Eric LaRocca, Charlie Higson, Kim Newman and A. G. Slatter.
You find it hidden in the dark corner of the bookstore; tucked away in a box in the attic, desperate to be read; lurking on your bookshelf, never seen before. Crack the spine, feel the ancient pages. Read it aloud, if you dare.
This anthology brings together horror’s best and brightest to delve into the pages of cursed books, Eldritch tomes and haunted bookstores.
Featuring stories from:
Adam Cesare
Eric LaRocca
Isy Suttie
Charlie Higson

And many more!
my thoughts:
Creepy and thrilling, Bound In Blood: Stories Of Cursed Books, Damned Libraries, And Unearthly Authors is a terrific anthology that will definitely spook. Edited by Johnny Mains, this collection of short stories is chock full of horror stories about books and tales that will haunt you for days long after you turn the last page. Yikes!
Just in time to celebrate the fall season, this book is just the ticket. Grab a cuppa, a fuzzy throw blanket, and settle on down with Bound In Blood. Make sure to leave all the lights on, because these eerie and supernatural themed stories will make you jump every time you hear a sound. I know that I did.
I also enjoyed getting to know so many new-to-me authors because of this book, too. It was fun experiencing new writing styles and creative ideas this way - made me look forward to picking up my copy every day. I normally devour short stories, but I preferred dipping in and out of this one. Such a treat to read!
I would happily recommend Bound In Blood to everyone looking for their next great spooky read - you will LOVE this one to bits! Make sure to grab a copy ASAP!

Well this sounds awesome! I love the idea of haunted bookshops and cursed books. (Well, in fiction, not in real life. ;D )
Lark, I know, right? Makes for a great spooky story :)
I really love a good horror short, probably more than a full horror novel, so I'll happily be picking this one up!
Lark, yes, in fiction it's great, but not in real life :) This one was a great one to read - definitely check it out!
I love short stories, so this one was a great way to indulge in some horror without having to get enmeshed in a full story :) Definitely check it out.
