Chalk Bones by Sarah Deacon

Creepy end, ohhh. Nicely done there. This might be my favorite.

Lots of horror, fold legends and strangeness going on. Some I remember more, some less.  I am always bad with remembering names too, so some stories did not get written about. All the creepiness sort of bled into each other.

More creepy than horror. All those tales of old, what could be out there. Not very xmassy of me reading this one right now. A bit of freaky stuff in December for me.

It had several narrators and they did a good job with their stories. They own had their own accents and gave it a real good experience.

It's a bedtime story, ancient family lore, a secret passed down from generation to generation. Stories that have deep dark roots, ever-growing, ever-creeping.

This anthology explores stories of heritage and horror. The tales we grew up on, hometown rumors and legends.

The things we pass down through our bloodlines
