Excellent Imagination, But One Problem
I am truly impressed with the author’s imagination. The stories are creative explorations into familiar territory without submitting to tiresome tropes. However, a common problem I find in many first-person horror stores is that the narrator reports on their own death. This is a major logic problem. If they die at the story’s end how can they finish the tale?

A little hit & miss.
Whilst written well (to write a whole story in just a few pages is a great accomplishment), I felt that a couple of the short stories weren’t that exciting.
Though I guess it all depends on what aspects of supernatural horror you like… vampires/werewolves or ghosts and demons or the walking dead…
Still a nice little book to pass an hour.
