It was a lot of fun when they did this. There's a new anthology in the works, too.
I love how it spans from just a bit weird to hard Sci fi to horror. The Twilight Zone can be anything.

🌟The more reviews a book has, the more social proof it has.
🌟 More and more people wait to see if something has reviews before buying.
🌟Even one line can make a huge difference.

Help a girl out! If you've read any of my books, please stick a review up.

Is he just a crazy person with a chainsaw?
Ah, I like horror that follows a system, like revenge in The Fog, or an evil spirit wanting something in particular.
I'm not sure if I've seen The Witch. I think I saw something about medieval witch hunters featuring Sean Bean. That was good.
