A Great Read
This collection of short stories were so well written. Brett O'Reilly has built a world much like Stephen King’s Castle Rock. In his world however, it’s called Darkwater, and many of the stories are based there.
What makes it even more fun is that many of the stories are interwoven. I really enjoyed this collection and look forward to reading more by this author. If you haven’t read anything by Brett O’Reilly yet, you really should. This guy can write.

Interesting collection of short stories. My favorite is probably the vampire ordering take out during the COVID pandemic, but all the stories were entertaining. There are a few that I've been thinking about long after I read them which is always a good marker of a good story.
