Bump in the night book12/16/2023 This story manages to be sweet, sexy, and creepy all at once, the perfect combination for an anthology like this one. You just know things aren’t going to be quite right, but at the same time I couldn’t help rooting for sweet Josef who just wants to return to the arms of the man he loves. This was a great story to kick off the anthology, with a nice creepy undertone throughout. But for the chance to once again be with the man he loves, Josef is willing to do just about anything. But power like this is not without sacrifices, and Josef finds Adel changed in many ways. Yet Josef has finely tuned his skills and is thrilled to find his lover returned to him. Bringing back a body is not hard, but bringing the spirit along with it is much more difficult. Now all that’s left is for Josef to put their plan into action and bring Adel back to life. They planned the spells, arranged the bribe of the mortician, and thought through their escape. Before Adel’s death, the two men arranged it all. In the dark of night, Josef Leitner retrieves the body of his dead lover Adel St. I really liked this one and I think that with the right expectations, it is an anthology that lots of folks will enjoy. These stories vary in intensity from mildly creepy to truly horrific, with lots of gore, terror, and chills. But definitely don’t go into this expecting happy endings and traditional romance arcs.

In half the stories there are clear romantic elements, and all of them contain sex (though in some cases dub con/non con and not always with the romantic partner). To me that is a hallmark of a good anthology and I think they have succeeded well here.Īs I said, these stories are horror, and as such, not your typical romance fare. ![]() It combines six different stories with a really nice range, each distinct from one another but at the same time all working well together. Bump in the Night is a horror anthology from Riptide Publishing.
