Description
War is filled with monsters. Monstrous acts were done by monstrous individuals on every side and front of the war. Combat Monsters: Untold Tales of World War II is an anthology of short stories during World War II. But there’s a twist to this collection. All the stories contain monsters from around the world. Witches, dragons, vampires, demons, and, of course, the scariest monster of all, man, all make appearances in this collection of nineteen short stories and two poems. While war can be unimaginable, the idea of the anthology and the stories it contains are highly imaginative.
Combat Monsters: Untold Tales of World War II is curated and edited by Henry Herz. Herz has compiled a diverse list of authors. The stories and genres are as diverse as the authors. Among the authors are many best-sellers and award-winners, including Eugen Bacon, Jonathan Maberry, Jeremy Robinson, Jane Yolen, and many more. Herz even has one of his own stories featured in this anthology. From fantasy to sci/fi and even horror, these many stories take the reader down many paths. War is hell, but sometimes telling tales, even fantastical ones can help make sense of the mess.
