The last time I read a book that I can recall that involved more than one author as a short story collection was Triage featuring Jack Ketchum Edward Lee and Richard Laymon. it was fantastic and I don't have a copy anymore - had I known then what I know now I'd have hung onto it as it is hard to come by. Daughters of Darkness, on the other hand, is a fresh release that came out in February of this year so 2021 and it came out in the very middle of women in horror month, so I'm a little behind on my review.
This was a graciously gifted review copy from Ruschelle Dillon, one of the authors featured here and who you may recall from a previous new releases video with her book of the stain and she had also equally graciously interviewed me for the horror tree 2 years ago. Also featured in this book are Stephanie Ellis, Alyson Faye, and Theresa Derwin. So, we have a group of four women writers who specialize in horror of varying kinds in one book.
From the back cover: A quartet of established female horror writers from both sides of the Atlantic have joined supernatural forces to bring you - Daughters of Darkness - a publication from the women-run indie press Black Angel. These stories will take you across the centuries, from Whitechapel to New Orleans, from dark humour to Gothic, weaving the weird with the macabre. Within these pages, meet the myriad monsters these female writers have conjured, letting them loose to roam and cast long shadows.
The gorgeous cover as mentioned I absolutely adore and it was designed by Francois Vaillancourt who is Canadian and you may recognize from many other books covers an author's if you're out there he often designs covers and then has them up for commission beautiful at work and of course on my list of things to achieve the cover by Francois Vallencourt.
A fantastic collection that I do recommend if you are not familiar with these authors or just want to line your shelf with some really nice dark female offerings. I hope to see more of this being that this could be an annual tradition it would be really cool, or just more collections with more than one story by each author. I'd be very interested in collections like that as opposed to the traditional anthology.

If there are horror books out there that you think I ought to read, let me know. I talk scary books, extreme horror, classic, gothic, and everything in between. Helping you find the next best horror books to read is the goal, and sharing new and old horror from my shelves and new releases is how! Horror, nonfiction and even true-crime can be found here as I find that human beings the scariest thing of all ~
