Thank you. From the blackest corners of your mind, they call, pulling you deep into shadow, twisting your senses,

keeping you from sleep. It's time to face your darkest fears. This is Tales to Terrify. Good evening, children of the night, and welcome to the last episode of 2019.

It's been a hell of a year for us here at Tales to Terrify, and really

one hell of a decade for horror in general. It's probably some kind of social commentary on the

state of the world, but I feel like looking back at the last ten years, horror has really come into its own in a big

way, really begun to resonate with people on a wider level, and resulted in some fantastically

terrifying tales, too. I was reviewing some of the best of the decade lists for horror movies the other day,

and I was actually shocked to see how many memorable modern horrors came out in the last 10 years.

Some of which I would have sworn were released much earlier.

Even a glance at the current offering of horror movies and TV series on Netflix and other

streaming services, compared to a decade ago, I would have never imagined this kind of choice

at my fingertips. Literature has had no lack of traction either, and while I feel like bookstores, both online and

otherwise, have always had a fairly steady flow of new horror releases streaming in,

the quality and variety of titles being released by authors has continued to blossom over the last

few years.

I don't know about you, but when I'm looking for a new title to dig into, especially as a relatively slow reader, I find it hard to even know where to begin.

Maybe not such a bad problem to have, though.

One of the things I love most about our genre, though, is the diversity.
