This is an awesome collection. I enjoyed all the stories, but there's one called "Autumn of '79" that is now one of my all-time favorites. Here's an excerpt:
"In my own mind, people were either saints or sinners. The righteous or the damned. But magic still existed too, in our young imaginations. I don’t think you lose that belief until you grow older.
Adults forget the things children once knew to be true."
I'm looking forward to more from Huntington. Highly recommended!

Captivating Horror Collection
Paint it Black felt like reading Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities. I was completely swept in to the majority of the stories and liked how each one was just as twisted and unique as the last. Plots included: Murdering psychotic wives Bloodlike rain with cocooning tendrils Man eating monsters Possession/demons Weird small town rituals Strangers and sinister bargains and trades I don't know if others have this feeling with short stories, but it's like watching mini movies in your head. Well crafted plots with characters that were surprisingly fleshed out in the little bit of time we are with them. And the sly inclusion of an almost parable learning moment by the time you're finished. Each story is wholly unique too. No two are alike and the element of paranormal changes expertly. If you're into the paranormal and enjoy things like Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark and Cabinet of Curiosities, this collection would be an excellent choice for your next read. All thoughts are my own. True rating 4.5 out of 5 stars.

What can I say about this book?
It's Sarah Jane Huntington's debut book.
Its 13 Extremely well crafted horror stories.
I loved every story.
But for me my favourites are TICK TOCK and THE VOID.
They just for me ticked all the boxes.
I wont go into plot lines but my two favourites are just magnificent.
AUTUMN OF '79, THE JUKE BOX, TOO SEE WITHOUT EYES and INNER VOICE are great stories also.
If you want a cracking read buy this book.
Sarah Jane Huntington will in my opinion be HOT PROPERTY in the HORROR GENRE.
Check this book out you won't regret it.
I just cant wait for Sarah's next book.
