Dark, dank holes in the ground. Cellars. Sinister corners. Stale, damp air. In the anthology, Cellar Door: Words of Beauty, Tales of Terror, editor Shawna L. Bernard has compiled a collection of works in which authors draw a sharp contrast between the allure of the unknown down those steps and the terror of discovery when one reaches the bottom.
I applaud Bernard’s bold move on opening the collection with a poetry section. The selections are haunting and evocative. Theresa Newbill’s “Olive Branch” closes with the lines “an olive branch bearing fruit, not to be trusted; and thus highlights the disturbing juxtaposition of imagery through the anthology. Rose Blackthorn gives us “the dark has no end” in her selection “Beneath Yellow Roses.” The poets gently lure us into the seductive hush of the cellar.

The second portion, the flash fiction, sits hidden amidst the cobwebs of those dark corners. The poetry got us down those stairs. Now the flash fiction causes our breathing to intensify; our hearts to race with fear. Morgan Griffith, in “A Polished Poem,” says, “Not one of us was unaffected by the unnatural quiet and oppressive sense of foreboding.” The perfect imagery for those unseen terrors lurking just beyond our line of sight.

The final section, the short stories, tears the façade away to reveal the horrors within. Gregory Norris, in his story “Stray Cat,” tells us without hesitation that it is “out there.” We know it and there is nothing we can do. Tracy L. Carbone, in “Visions of a New York Loft,” asks, “But I’m safe now?” Quite simply, no you are not safe now.

Bernard has put together a great collection here. This is volume one and I look forward to future releases.

Edited by Shawna L. Bernard, Cellar Door Words of Beauty, Tales of Terror is a unique collection. The stories are linked by title to create a loose thread between the tales. A simulation of opening doors, passing through, never to return to your point of origin. The poetry, flash fiction, and short stories take the reader down shadowy corridors and through haunted cold spots to reveal monstrous horrors hidden in the darkness. The works here are eclectic and terrifying.

For the most part, really awful content. Possibly the result of a teen writing competition? The visuals have no bearing on the supposed topic.
The beautiful cover art draws us in. Once inside we find an anthology based on a simple concept that can inspire both wonder and fear. What I love about this collection is the diversity of imagination. As a reader it took me back to discovering the limitless possibilities of dark fantasy when I stumbled upon the early tales of Ray Bradbury. There's truly something in these pages for everyone. My personal favorite is Rose Blackthorn's Pressed Flower Memories. Exquisitely creepy with fascinating secrets. But there are other gems as well among the poetry, art, flash fiction and short story offerings. Editor Shawna L. Bernard has done a superb job creating a sense of unity that compliments the freedom to create. The deeper I ventured the more I could imagine each author whispering their story to me. Looking forward to Volume 2.
Fiona was my favorite story, written by Justin Hunter. I found it to be subtle and very creepy! Really enjoyed it and planning to read more of his work.
Love it because my work is in it!
This showed so much creativity! Poetry, visual arts, and of course, the stories. The content made me think of the wonderful old stories from bygone times, very subtle. Effective horror can hide in plain sight, only being recognized by those who- in certain slant of light- glimpse it. After being turned off from modern horror time and again, I wondered if I was stuck re reading the classics. But with persistence, you can find books such as this, which not only entertain, but also show the art is not lost. Encouraging to know there are people who still get it, and a fun read. A keeper.
The first thing that captures me is the cover, an entrancing display of beauty and intrigue. The crow is the symbol for death in many beliefs, and as it sores effortlessly through a swirling chasm of light, you can't help but wonder what exactly awaits me on the other side. Shawna L. Bernard is masterful in her invite for the reader to explore the collection of stories that blend together into a harmonious vision as deceiving as the title they are bound to Cellar Door. This anthology captures the imaginations we have tried to forget, those dark whispers that we dare not answer, providing a tantalizing array for every favored form of expression. From poetry to flash and short stories, Cellar Door delivers the perfect burst of wonder for everyone, whether you are seeking a short escape from the mundane or thirst for a mixture of nightmares that keeps going, consistently changing and keeping you in awe, this is the collection for you. I found what was lurking behind my cellar door. I invite you to discover what's behind yours...
