All these two women want to do is enjoy their day of vacation by visiting a lemon orchard and then returning to the hotel for a “nap.” But some otherworldly beings have other plans for them. My goodness the sense of dread with this one is intense! My heart broke for these two women at the end.
Astorgos by Ashlei Johnson-- This one is urgent from the very beginning! When an alien orb crashes into earth causing the dead to rise one couple tries to survive. My biggest problem with this story is that I felt like I was just getting started! I wanted to keep reading to figure out what was going on! Excellent work. Paradise Lost”, by Shari White hooked me from the first word until the end. I would not got outside. You never know what will happen.I had first heard a version of this tale on the Horror Oasis YouTube channel. It was titled Vacations End. Give it a listen here: What will you do when the beaches fill with bodies and the waters run red with blood? When creatures crawl the coastline and the jungle teems with terror. How will you survive when a tropical respite becomes an arena of peril? You may think you know where "They Eat People, You Know?" by Rowan Hill is going but you may be surprised. I guessed at the outcome but it didn't interfere with my enjoyment of the story. Suspenseful and well done. 4 Stars.
When a couple on the verge of divorce take a vacation, they both have other plans rather than spending time together. But the locals have their eye on the husband after he hits on a girl on the beach… The first release from Andrew Robert’s Darklit press was a call out to the horror community for submission pieces for vacation Horror, and he was inundated with the responses – over 300 – to the point that the anthology was expanded to two linked books, Slice of Paradise and Beach Bodies, released simultaneously. Once again, I really found that all the stories, even those that were a miss for me, had some really dark events in them, which makes for a fun time. Secret Beach by Mark Towse – anxiety filled opener. Really enjoyed the sinister undertones throughout it and the father-daughter aspect. When a night swim while on drugs turns into a cheap excuse to put his hands on her, this woman immediately changes the tone. But there’s something in the water looking out for her as well.

Misery Guts by Craig Wallwork (I will not say anything about it, only that the title says it all, super fun, super gross) Honeymoon (Simon J. Plant) --> On a remote island off the coast of Jamaica, Liz and Jacinta are celebrating their honeymoon early. But Liz can't help but feel something is wrong on the island... Initially a bit of slow starter but it soon came together nicely. I detected the twist part way through but its a still fun story. 4.25/5 Night Dive by Drew Starling – this one was claustrophobia personified. Even the thought of diving at night will make most squirm, but the story within makes sure to ruin this activity for everybody from here on out. Honeymoon" by Simon J. Plant has a Twilight Zone vibe as one member of a vacationing couple realizes that their lovely resort is not all it appears to be, despite the obliviousness of the other member. 3.5 Stars.
On a trip that will decide if their marriage will last or not, the husband complains of horrible stomach pain. When the wife learns what is causing the pain, many things fall into place for her. The Guardian by Philip Fracassi – outstanding story. We get a solid group of friends, a great location and a survive-at-all-costs tale. Loved this one. Phosphorescence by Denver Grenell-- Very real, very unique. The stoners here are super believable. Denver clearly has a gift for creating likable, fun, realistic and relatable characters!Beach Snakes by Aiden Merchant – a really fun story about a husband and wife that hate each other and an enjoyable local urban legend that has bite. Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
