Publisher's summary
An unknown danger lurks beneath the sand at a secluded beach. A couple encounters a deadly creature during their nighttime dive. A father fights to save his daughter from a harrowing nightmare. A newlywed’s honeymoon is interrupted by the apocalypse. A maid discovers a shocking secret at the exclusive resort she works for.
Beach vacations are meant for relaxing and unwinding away from the drudgery of normal life. The sparkling sun, shimmering on cresting waves. A light breeze as you sit with toes in the sand, a cold drink in one hand. Utopia on an island. But what happens when that paradise suddenly becomes a purgatory of pain? What will you do when the beaches fill with bodies and the waters run red with blood? When creatures crawl the coastline and the jungle teems with terror. How will you survive when a tropical respite becomes an arena of peril?
Slice of Paradise is an all-original anthology featuring 15 shocking stories of beach vacation horror. For even more scares, check out the companion anthology, Beach Bodies, from DarkLit Press. This anthology includes stories by Craig Wallwork, Philip Fracassi, Scott J Moses, Mark Towse, Spencer Hamilton, Aiden Merchant, Drew Starling, Ashlei Johnson, Rowan Hill, Simon J. Plant, Alyson Hasson, Sheri White, Denver Grenell, Kay Hanifen, and Nick Kolakowski.

The supernatural intrudes upon a wedding; a pier becomes the site of tragedy; a collapsed building is only the start of the nightmare for those trapped in the ruins; a scientist makes the discovery of a lifetime, only to find out that what he’s unearthed has dire consequences not only for himself, but for all of mankind.

When one of the gang members returns to Buzzard's Edge, Rory's life is violently upended once more.

Story
I was kidnapped on my honeymoon by three masked men. Blindfolded. Bound. Destination unknown. I was told to stay silent and abide by their rules. But they didn’t realize I wasn’t a victim...not anymore. The open sea was my backdrop for nine torturous days. During that time, glimmers of my fate were revealed by a man with the mysterious chartreuse-colored eyes. He should have scared me, but he didn’t. He intrigued me. And I intrigued him. He punished me when I didn’t listen, which was every single day. But beneath his cruelty, I sensed he was guarding a grave secret.

Story
When we arrived at the compound, we believed we had found our safe haven at last. For the briefest of moments, their medicine and science lulled us into a false sense of security. But within the bowels of this haven, where the cure for Nevermore is being developed, there lurks an evil that is far worse than anything we've already encountered. Sebastian is used as a test subject, a process that, instead of curing him, is slowly killing him. As his heart falters, mine must draw upon new strength if I am to fight our way out of the compound.

We fell in love on a beach, got married in paradise, and rode off into the sunset. It should have been perfect, but saying "I do" doesn't guarantee a happily ever after. Two years later, I barely recognize either of us behind the walls we've built. It's time to bring it full circle. Back to a tropical paradise. Back to find out if we can still make this work. I'm not willing to give her up, but to save us, I have to risk everything.

Vacation from reality
Really, what is not to love about crystal blue water isolated sandy beaches, and vacationing with your friends? This anthology has it all from well known to new to me authors, from human monsters, to real life bite you up and eat you monsters. One thing in common with these stories, bodies disappear all the time when help is thousands of miles away.

Some short and super short tales of beach horror
A pretty darn good anthology of beach vacation horror!
I received a complimentary audio copy of this release from the publisher but this review is all my own. Thank you, DarkLit Press!!
I'll admit that it took me a while to warm up to the narrator, but after I settled in it was a great ride. I devoured these stories while out in the yard doing a little project and was kept engaged and entertained all the way through.

Oh, The Horrors of Vacations!
SLICE OF PARADISE is a very good collection of dark and unsettling vacation stories. I have to confess that I'm not a huge audiobook fan and that I enjoy reading a book rather than listening, I enjoyed the stories woven into this book. Some of them with some really good imagery that immerses the listener into some fascinating realms. Some of my favorites were HONEYMOON, MISERY GUTS, PARADISE LOST, and OF MURDER AND MERMAIDS were some of my favorites in this anthology.
The narrator, Thomas Gloom, didn't do anything for me as far as his storytelling. I felt like he was a bit over the top and could have pulled back a bit. I find that his exaggerated delivery made listening to this troublesome.
All in all, a good anthology.

Stories were OK, narration was laughable.
Some of the stories were pretty good. Some of them were just so-so. What really got me and will stick with me from this anthology series was the narrator. I don’t know if he was trying to put on a “surfer dude“ air but he missed the mark. it distracted from the stories and was just hard to listen to. With a more competent narrator this could have been a much better listen.
