I thought that volume 6 of this anthology series was my favorite, till I read this one: it's a blast! Absolutely original stories, scary, chilling, and creepy! Especially the first one, the Reddit thread about near-death experiences: I read it twice, both times feeling chills all over! All the stories are gems!
