Spectre Nightmares and Visitations was another super quick book that I dove into. It was honestly for a challenge that I'm currently in but it was also a nice surprise at the same time.
The characters went through a lot of situations throughout the entire book. A lot more than I initially thought would happen. So, in some ways, it was kind of refreshing/surprising since I didn't expect much from this short book.
Luckily, for me, this gave me so many close calls and wtf moments that I couldn't stop myself from turning the pages. Each turn and twist that came my way, just sucked me into a deeper hole within this book. It was pretty entertaining and I'm sad that the book is over already.
If I could change one thing it would be to make this book a heck of a lot longer. I will have to be on the lookout for more books by Pamela!

Spectre Nightmares and Visitations is a great collection of short stories from quite an imaginative story teller. These are the stories you would find in “The Outer Limits” or “One Step Beyond,” stories that stretch the imagination. Covering the gamut, you’ll find ghosts, werewolves, other-worldly beings, and even wicked cats, oh my!
When it comes to books, who can resist a bargain? Scrounging the used bookstores or yard sales, I’m sure you’ll find at least one that you just have to have. But, you may want to think twice, before bringing that find home, as it just may be more than you bargained for.
Or perhaps that cute little kitty alone on the street is just too irresistible to leave by himself, but did you ever stop to wonder just why he’s all alone? Maybe you should.
How about a one night stand, is it something you ever thought about, experienced? Or even regretted? Well, I’m pretty sure you’ve never had the regrets poor Janie did after picking up that last guy in the bar.
Oh, and I’m sure everyone is familiar with the whole “until death do us part” phrase from many wedding vows; but seriously, does anyone really take it literally? Hmm, some do!
These are just a few of the scenarios you’ll run into while perusing this book, all of them make for a good read. Just keep in mind, things aren’t always what they seem to be; tables can be turned and happy endings, hah, what’s that?

We can be scared by many things. However, the most frightening things that we encounter are those that can infect our own nightmares and imaginations. Monsters from the closet or from another dimension, ghosts that haunt more than houses. Shapeshifters of every species and description, children can be stolen by more than the human kind of monster. Even the most normal circumstances can suddenly shift into times of the most heart-pounding terror.
I have to say that I really enjoyed this book. I believe Pamela K. Kinney has an incredible imagination - there was a huge variety of horrors that she wrote about, they were not just the 'run-of-the-mill' horror stories. In my opinion, she is an emerging author to keep an eye on. I give Spectre Nightmares and Visitations by Pamela K. Kinney an A! and am looking forward to reading the two other books by Pamela K. Kinney that I have on my TBR pile.

As with most short story books, there will be some you like and some you don't. I think it's a win as long as like the majority of them. The only real criticism I would have is that they weren't scary enough for me. Many good stories though.
