I have to thank BookSirens for the ARC in exchange for my personal opinion.
Emporium of Superstition ♦ Athology
The anthology Emporium of Superstition is just wonderful! Each one of these short stories were remarkably written, even though not all could catch me completely! I was reading one story at a time. Once I started a story it was hard to put my Kindle down. But I just couldn’t indulge in the next one. Some just needed to settle with my emotions.
All the authors who participated in this anthology are new to me, but I will definitely keep my eyes open for more of all twelve of them.
Next to ghost stories, I found mythological stories about and with demons, witches, and other paranormal beings and I felt delighted reading all these tales. As I informed myself about them, I found out those were retellings. As a German I am not very familiar with typical US American Old Wives’ Tales. Therefore, with some I had to do some research for a better insight to the new tales.

In case you are looking for some spooky short stories for this Halloween season, you should get this anthology. Emporium of Superstition will not disappoint.
I feel like I'm a million pages old. I've lived thousands of lives, loved, grieved and died many deaths. I've had a home in almost every corner of the earth and in many new worlds. I've made many friends and fought many enemies. ─ Good books aren't read, they're lived and at the end of each book we're left changed. In comparison, reality sometimes just seems grey. ─ They say we're the heroes of our own stories, or the villains. But it often seems very realistic, as if we readers are more like the tragic-comic supporting characters. ─ Goodreads Librarian | My book wish list. ;)
