TALES OF EVIL contains 11 horror stories written and edited by members of Wily Writers, a private group of professional and amateur writers who are serious about their craft. They each reveal Evil as it plays out in the world, sometimes supernatural, sometimes hitting close to reality. Yvonne Navarro's "Craving" introduces us to a man whose morbid curiosity develops into the need for ever-stronger highs. "A Message from Mommy," by Jennifer Brozek reminds us that Evil can disguise itself as love. Alan Baxter tells us about a priest fighting his own demons while trying to save a child from possession in "How Father Bryant Saw the Light." In Lisa Morton's "Black Mill Cove," a man exploring a seashore discovers evidence of a death, too late for it to be an effective warning. A woman who wants a baby goes to extreme lengths to get one, but society abandons her when she tries to make it right in "Baby Crazy," by E.S. Magill. Bill Bodden's story, "In the Shadow of His Glory," takes us on a journey with a squire whose only purpose is to serve his master, no matter what. Bob Lock's "The Charnel House" follows a police detective who discovers that the murder he's investigating is no ordinary murder. Weston Ochse introduces us to a predator we'd never see coming in "Hollywood Villainy." In Alison J. McKenzie's "Rabbit," a woman inherits her ancestral home and begins to discover that she has a disturbing connection to her mother's secret sister. Loren Rhoads imagines how John, Paul, George, and Rich (Ringo) face the consequences of a decision they made many years earlier in "Devil in her Heart." And finally, Angel Leigh McCoy offers "Coquettrice," a tale that erases the barrier between Evil and Love when a man's jealousy forces him to redefine the meaning of family.… (meer)

Tales of Evil, edited by Angel Leigh McCoy and Alison J Mckenzie, is another volume in the Wily Writers Presents series, and offers a nice variety of stories on the topic of evil.

Sometimes the horror genre is thought of narrowly, which is annoying since there is not simply one purpose in horror, or one way to accomplish an end. This volume covers a wide range, which is a positive for me. Sometimes the best horror doesn't so much scare you as disturb you. Maybe the way something can be a real possibility, maybe the way evil can be next door in the average looking person rather than the clearly defined monster with clearly terrifying circumstances. This collection covers many bases and does so very well.

Admittedly, if your idea of horror is limited to one type, you may be disappointed a little bit. I would suggest thinking of this as a collection of disturbing stories rather than horror, since expectation plays a large part in how we appreciate something. Read the stories for what they are, not what they aren't and never tried to be.

Like any collection, not every story hit me the same way, but none of these were weak stories. The one that comes to mind that I liked least, I still liked, which makes this a successful collection in my eyes.

Reviewed from a copy made available by the publisher via NetGalley. ( )
