“I hope I can find a plot for you, mister”: A Review of Those Who Scream by Casey Dawson, in The Daily Drunk Magazine
“The #antiwrimo Experiment”: A Review of Those Who Scream by Ben Arzate in Malarkey Books
“This #antiwrimo novel, Those Who Scream, created by thirty authors during November 2021, suffers from a Halloween hangover of the best kind. The story features a cemetery, undead fiends, a biker experiencing extreme ocular horror, a friendly chicken, a plethora of generational trauma, a little black cat, and so much more. Each author chose whether delve into the past, soak up the atmosphere while considering the current conflict, drive the plot forward, invoke a fever dream, or explore a secondary character’s perspective. The transitions between writers aren’t always completely seamless, but the spirit of the story remains strong and super spooky.”
