I really enjoyed The Box, its a short tale with an eerie atmosphere emotion and showed the agony and pain that one would receive upon opening such a box.Its a book you shouldn't read at night you may just end up with some eerie feelings yourself or worse.

Just ok not great

Better than book one Scabs. Would I recommend this short story probably not. It did get interesting but not enough to say I enjoyed it.

About
John buys a box that holds an evil entity inside, and once opened, horror terrifies his family

Review:
I really enjoyed this short story. It felt like reading Edgar Allen Poe and felt like something from Tales from the Crypt. I wish it was longer, I would love to read a whole novel about a dybbuk box.

Notes:
- bloody scenes
- death

I think the words agony, cacophony, suffering, and macabre were half of the words in this book

also i mean jesus christ if something is plaguing your family you wouldn’t even try to like.. find help??

I love finding short books to read before bed and The Box had just enough spook for a nighttime read. It was a short book but doesn’t lack. It shows the gruesome possibility of what can happen if you open a dybbuk box.

I personally enjoyed it and I can’t wait to read more from this author.

Why on earth, if you purchase a dybbuk box, would you open it? WHY?! Listen. NEVER OPEN A DYBBUK BOX! This story was gruesome, but so good. I could have definitely used more gore but it was a good short story that caught my attention.

2.5 short story and wasn’t scary at all.

Was ok.

How many times does "the stench of decay" need to be in a 15 minute short story? Apparently at least four
