When I first heard about Ominous Realities, I thought that it would be just another anthology. I was wrong. This title simply shocked me with its originality and unique perspective and the variety of topics it covered. This book is a collection of character-driven stories with strong narrative voices that intrigued me from the very first paragraph and made me read on.
I am shocked that this anthology has not been hailed as one of the most interesting reads of the year. Ominous Realities is a great anthology of dark stories that analyse dark alternative worlds and societies. Rather than focusing on the gory and gritty aspects of horror, its stories are centred on strong character-driven storylines that make the dark elements highlight the characters under different lights. Rather than comic-like situations where brutality is described gratuitously, the stories save those details but give enough information about the world so that the reader can make an image of the rest. Sometimes, not giving too many specifics about violence in a story makes it even more intense, and this collection of stories achieves just that.
I am extremely glad to have read this book, and it proves that an anthology can be interesting and entertaining to read, without giving a few good stories accompanied by a legion of filler. The team at Grey Matter Press has an incredible intuition when it comes to selecting quality and engaging stories. When so many good stories concur in the same place, it is not a coincidence.
