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!
