Praise for Night Terrors[]

  • From Trish Martin's Horrornews.net review: "Creepy, macabre subject matter fills the pages of a Blood Bound Books first, Night Terrors: An Anthology of Horror edited by Theresa Dillon. Night Terrors is an anthology of 31 horror stories ranging from stories of serial killers, to monsters, to evil itself. There are stories here to satisfy anyone’s palate and quench anyone’s thirst for blood and gore." She goes on to say, "Each story has its good points and there is a little something for everyone within the pages of Night Terrors. So if you’re looking for something to read that you can pick up and put down when needed without breaking up the monotony of a long novel then pick this one up."
  • From Fangoria: “Harper Hull’s shocker “Amy Lou’s Ice Cream Parlor” is an absolute sucker punch to the gut. Hull drags us down into the spectral depths of his protagonist’s heartbreaking depravity—and never brings us back. Discovering this story at the tail end of the collection is just about enough to justify the entire purchase price. Hull is not alone. Desmond Warzel’s “The Elephant in the Marble” allows the reader to rubberneck through his narrator’s own compellingly hazy drug-induced demise. Craig Saunders’ “The Hole in the Fence” strikes its own confident balance between character and concept, while the sheer dissoluteness of Barry Napier’s “Lunatic Mile” deserves mention for tapping the reader’s gag reflex rather than just settling for a simple gag.”
