The best horror anthology I've read for a while, This World Belongs to Us is packed with unique stories that celebrate the incredible variety which horror can offer, and doing so while working hard (in the best way possible) to make readers' skins crawl. From the opening story on, I was superbly aware that I shouldn't be reading this book at night--or even outside in the Florida fall where the simplest of bugs could relate to the book and set off my imagination.
What makes this anthology so strong, though, isn't just the writing, which is superb. The variety of approaches these authors took to their subject matter, and the way each story added another layer of horror and bugginess, made me anxious to turn forward to each new story. Too show more often, anthologies have so many stories of the same tone or with similar themes, so that after a while things become repetitive even if the stories themselves would have shined on their own. Here, there's so much fun to be had in exploring the various bugs, themes, tones, and approaches, I absolutely adored the book, and I'm going to look forward to reading more anthologies from From Beyond Press. Additionally, this little anthology has given me quite a few new authors to look out for!
