I won this as a Goodreads giveaway and I did my best to continue reading it but I just couldn’t. This was definitely not a good read for me. The stories seemed pointless, just ending abruptly. The writing was lacking descriptive words and plot. I very rarely DNF a book but I absolutely could not keep going.

[Ashly Shroyer · Rating 2 out of 5]

These short stories were too dark overall for me. I read a little over half the book and only enjoyed 3 stories. If you're interested in very short, dark stories, this book is for you.

Thanks to goodreads giveaways for allowing me to try this book.

Good book

[John Michael Stroh · Rating 5 out of 5]

I wasn't expecting this book to be what it is, and am delighted by that. Each individual story was dark yet comforting.

(I received this book as part of a Goodreads Giveaway.)

ok

This collection of short stories is a fairly quick read. The stories vary all over the spectrum the one thing they have in common is they are pretty dark.

[Candie · Rating 3 out of 5]

I enjoyed some of the stories in this collection. There were some that I found a little dark and others that I thought ended to quickly and would have liked more of the story.
