"Braun's main players often find themselves in battles not only for their lives but for their souls, which heightens the stakes and conjures nail-biting tension. Horror fans will appreciate the variety of characters, themes, and scares in this unsettling collection." -BookLife/Publishers Weekly "[Braun] writes phenomenal characters who have to deal with dark scenarios as best as they can and she does it so very well. This was a great collection and a perfect place for those who've not read her work to dive in." --Steve Stred, author of Mastodon "Dark and captivating. A fresh and addicting take on the horror genre." --Candace Robinson, author of The Wicked Souls duology "The stories each keep your attention throughout, and it keeps you turning the pages. I love the way [Braun's] mind works, with these creepy Twilight Zone-ish stories!" --Book Dragon Girl "Theresa Braun brings a fresh, emotive, and genuinely terrifying approach to the horror genre, one which sets her apart as a unique new voice in modern gothic fiction." --Readers' Favorite Review "The Broken Darkness revitalized my love for anthologies within the first hour of reading. The stories feel well-fleshed out and have the richness of a full-length book. Each has some weight to it, and in the end, I had the same feeling: I had just read something unique and meaningful...I wholeheartedly recommend it to readers of the horror genre." --Readers' Favorite Review "The Broken Darkness has your classic unbelievable stories but also explores the real horror of what people are willing to do to each other. Theresa has a keen sense of the psyche of humans and narrates frightening and gruesome stories...Her romantic style of writing belied the plot twist at the end and showed what a great writer she is. This is a must-read for any horror fan or any short-story enthusiast looking to prickle their skin with anticipation." --Readers' Favorite Review "Theresa Braun's short story collection is positively frightening. She writes about the macabre in a refreshingly different manner that still manages to test the boundaries of what the human mind is willing to accept...What makes this collection such an enjoyable read is how she inserts an aura of innocence into blood-curdling accounts that would make even the most avid horror genre aficionados look over their shoulders, as if expecting to get violently snatched into this world of blood and gore." --Readers' Favorite Review
