[Sara Chippewa · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely loved this collection of short stories. I’ve never read this author before but I will certainly read more of their work, this book reminded me of scary stories to tell in the dark but for grownups! I’m an avid horror reader and I love a good short story collection to cleans the brain between huge tombs and Bruises hit the spot.
