Blog Tour Review - Black Crow Best New Horror
There's always been something about the horror story that I've felt really suits the short story format. I think it's because there's no slow build up and no comforting resolution, as a reader you're just dropped straight into the scary situation and you're often left without answers. The ghosts aren't exorcised, the demons aren't revealed to simply be the grounds keeper in a rubber mask, and the horror is left lingering in your mind.
I grew up reading horror short story collections by Stephen King, Edgar Allen Poe and HP Lovecraft but it's been a while since I read any new horror collections so I was very excited to be asked to read and review one of the short stories in the Black Crow Best New Horror Anthology.
For anyone unfamiliar with Black Crow, they've been doing book marketing and PR for ages now and are responsible for arranging many of the blog tours I've been doing over the last few years. They're passionate and enthusiastic about great books, really fun to work with, and are now taking really exciting steps into publishing themselves.
The story I was asked to read and review is The Other Brother by Rian Hughes and it was excellent and very spooky! It's a story about a story, as Mia and Isaac find an old book that creeped Mia out as a young girl in an old, secondhand bookshop. They buy it and Isaac reads it to Mia but all is not as she remembers it.
It's a fascinating story about why certain things scare us in that way that can stay with us for years, and the unreliability of memory and perception and it is definitely a creepy tale in itself! The narrative is interspersed with verses from the old book for extra creepiness.
If this story is indicative of the whole anthology then it is definitely worth getting and reading!
I was sent an ebook of The Other Brother in exchange for an honest review and participation in this Black Crow PR blog tour.
The Black Crow Best New Horror Anthology is published by Black Crow Books and is out now.

Don’t sit back and watch your relationship or marriage fall apart slowly like I did. My relationship of six years ended, and my boyfriend blocked me on all social media. I was heartbroken and cried endlessly, but deep down I knew that crying wouldn’t fix anything.
ReplyDeleteBecause of the love I had for him, I kept searching for a solution—something that could bring him back. Please don’t judge me. Anyone who has truly been in love, and has been loved in return, will understand exactly how I felt.
While searching online, I came across many comments about how Dr. Dawn had helped people restore their relationships and marriages. Some even claimed he had helped cure cancer, HIV, herpes and more. Out of desperation, I decided to contact him and explained everything I was going through.
After listening to me, he told me that a girl close to my boyfriend had casted a spell on him.
Honestly, I had noticed a particular girl from his office who used to visit my boyfriend often, but I never thought much of it at the time. Dr. Dawn assured me that my partner would return within 48 hours. I didn’t believe him—it sounded too good to be true.
But to my surprise, within 48 hours, I started receiving messages from a strange number. It was my boyfriend. He sent several messages, apologizing and asking for forgiveness. Eventually, I accepted him back, especially after he made genuine efforts to make things right.
Months later, we got married, and today we have a beautiful child together. I’m grateful Dr Dawn, for how everything turned out. My family and I are happy and at peace.
If you’re going through a difficult time in your relationship, marriage, infertility, disease, bad luck, don’t lose hope. Contact Dr dawn, things will definitely turn around when you least expect it.

I went through a very painful breakup with my boyfriend. We stopped talking, and he even blocked me on all social media. I was heartbroken and didn’t know what to do, so I started searching online for help. That’s when I came across several testimonies about Dr. Dawn and how he had helped people reunite broken relationships and marriages, as well as helped women conceive through his guidance.
ReplyDeleteAt first, I was unsure, but I decided to reach out to him. When we spoke, he told me things about myself and my relationship that were surprisingly accurate. He then guided me on what I should do.
To my surprise, within 48 hours, my boyfriend—who had completely cut me off—started calling me and sending me many messages, apologizing and asking for forgiveness. I forgave him, and we got back together.
Not only that, but with his support and guidance, we are now blessed with two beautiful children.
I am truly grateful for everything, and I strongly recommend Dr. Dawn to anyone going through relationship, marriage, or fertility challenges.
