What Risingshadow readers think about this book
The amazing Books of Blood series is definitely one of the best horror and dark fantasy short story collections ever.

If you call yourself a horror and dark fantasy fan and haven't read this series, you should read it as soon as possible (and please, remember to read Volume 1 first).
