Helpful.
I wasn't sure if I would issue this a four or five-star rating at first. What helped me make my decision were the highlights that I made as I read through this book. I didn't read it as fast as the mystery one that Patrick Méndez made, but it is good enough that I finished it. The book's length is excellent, which helped propel me to finish this book.
I recommend it for fiction authors who currently pen horror stories or those who are interested in writing one. Writing a short horror story is a different beast because you're limited by how many words you can use. But whether you intend to write a horror short story or not, this book is still beneficial.

The title is spicy. The work is average. The advice here isn’t bad, it’s just not fantastically groundbreaking.
But, hey, the author got it published. That’s good, right?
