I’ve purchased many indie titles over the years and this one is one of my best recent purchases. Every story is entertaining and suspenseful and there are many jump scares along the way too! Kandisha Press has done an awesome job in putting these stories together.
So, some of you would say, “But, C.C. it’s not possible for a book to have jump scares.”
Well, technically I suppose that is correct, however, a story can stick with you in such a way that those unexplained noises you hear during the night will make you jump out of your skin! Especially when walking down a long dark hallway through your apartment building and as you remember these stories, you glance about nervously while fumbling with the keys you just pulled out of your pocket. And just as you are about to insert the correct key, you see a shadow down the hallway out of the corner of your eye and of course you drop said keys. When you finally manage to insert your key with your shaking hand, you slip in through the opened door faster than you ever have before in your life. You slam it shut behind you, flip on the light switch and stand there listening and watching as your entire body trembles with fear.
I enjoyed all the stories in this anthology and I won’t pick favorites! Anyone who loves horror will be thrilled with this book! I’m giving it 5 stars!

These ladies killed it! Or killed her...or him...or them...you get it. Because women monsters.
As part of the countdown to Vol. 4 of Kandisha Press' Women of Horror Anthologies DON'T BREAK THE OATH, I'm reading the first three volumes straight through! First up- women monsters!One of the things I love most about anthologies is variety. Sure there's a common thread, but getting to hear different voices tell stories, give their takes on whatever the theme is...it just never gets old. In UNDER HER BLACK WINGS we get 19 stories written by women from all over the world. These ladies killed it! Or killed her...or him...or them...you get it. Because women monsters. There wasn't a single story I didn't like in here, and at 19 stories, that's no short order. Of course, I liked some more than others, but overall this was strong all around.Here are a few of my favorites -THE RIDDLED PATH by Somer Canon: A group of Boy Scouts finds goes on a hike they'll never forget.SOMEWHERE TO BELONG by Yolanda Sfetsos: A woman decides to visit a playground on a rainy day.FIRSTBORN by Jill Girardi: I'm not going to say what this is about. I will say the creature in this was creepy as hell.I love that Kandisha is publishing dark fiction by women, because we all need more of that. And I need this series to not end. The only good thing about me waiting until now to read this volume is that I don't have to wait for the next one. Now excuse me while I go hunt down other work by all of these authors.

Here are a few of my favorites -
THE RIDDLED PATH by Somer Canon: A group of Boy Scouts finds goes on a hike they'll never forget.
SOMEWHERE TO BELONG by Yolanda Sfetsos: A woman decides to visit a playground on a rainy day.
FIRSTBORN by Jill Girardi: I'm not going to say what this is about. I will say the creature in this was creepy as hell.
I love that Kandisha is publishing dark fiction by women, because we all need more of that. And I need this series to not end.
