Piercing the Darkness, edited by Craig Cook

What happens when Craig Cook gets powerhouses such as Joe Lansdale, Jack Ketchum, Brian Keene, Kealan Patrick Burke, F. Paul Wilson, Gary Braunbeck, Jonathan Maberry, Jonathan Janz, Jeff Strand, Mary SanGiovanni, Ronald Malfi, Gord Rollo, Gene O' Neill, and Monica O' Rourke together? You get a crazy good anthology for a great cause benefiting the Children's Literacy Initiative, titled Piercing the Darkness.

This is an anthology with all new stories. For the most part, they were very good and kept my attention to the page. I'll admit in my full truthfulness, there was one story I could only make it through half of, before I gave up. The rest though, were very good. The amazing thing, is that Craig was able to get everyone together for such a great cause. I love to see that this many authors would band together to help out, and hopefully this gets some great sales for the cause. I'm not going to delve into the stories with this review, mainly because I don't want to spoil anything for anyone. I'm more hoping to help promote the cause, and highly recommend this to others. Overall I'm going to give this collection an A-, and give you all the necessary links to purchase and help out the Children's Literacy Initiative. You won't be disappointed picking this one up!
