    Lurking in the Mind is a well-written, graphic tale that is not for the faint of heart. It boasts deplorable situations and developed characters. The two things that held it back for me was the amount of shock-value descriptions, and I felt it was a bit longer than it needed to be. But these are totally personal preferences. I highly recommend if you are into graphic horror fiction.

    A couple of good stories.

    This is definitely my favorite of what I like to call the “Lurking Series” collection of short stories put together by Jaidis Shaw. The sea monsters and shadowy monsters are one thing, but there is nothing more terrifying than what we can conjure up inside our own minds. Of course, as with all collections of stories with multiple authors and writing styles, there were some that I liked more than others and only one that I felt made it into the book by mistake (due to the awkward number of errors I found within in), but that wasn’t nearly enough to override how awesome the remainder of the stories were. My personal favorites that I found most chill-inducing or memorable: Postpartum by Savannah Rohleder (this one touched upon a personal fear of mine that I’ve never spoken about aloud before!), Blind Justice by Jaidis Shaw (due to the awesome twist), When I Met Hannah by Shelby Schulz (just overall excellently written and completely believable for some reason), and North Side Asylum by Lily Luchesi (creepy and terrifying to think about). It’s great to read horror stories that don’t rely merely on gore and shock value to bring the horror into the story. Loved it!

    I especially loved Amber Hassler's and Kathy-Lynn Cross's stories in this anthology. The characters are rich for short stories and they leave you with just the right amount of, wait, what? Love the psychological intrigue!

    There were a couple of well written stories in this book. Unfortunately these were offset by some really bad stories - horrible writing, ridiculous situations or both. Those that did not fall into one of these categories were, for the most part, mediocre.

    Lurking in the Mind by Jaidis Shaw

    A fascinating collection of short stories that dig deep into into ones mind. Each Author brings their individual talent bring compelling and though provoking stories. Some of the stories touch (on) the subjects of mental illness; depression, schizophrenia, split personalities, self inflicted harm and suicide.
