Fair to middling!

Well, I wouldn't describe this collection of short stories as a terror inducing read, it was more of a 'Twilight Zone' fest. Not that it wasn't a bad read, some of the stories were quite good but, it was still a bit of a marathon to complete the book.

We had some dark humour, a few unsettling stories and the author's apparent fixation with mirrors. The moral here being, if you stare into a mirror it isn't always your own reflection that stares back at you.

Not a bad read but, I'm not sure I would bother with a second series - always assuming one is in the pipeline.

about 4 exceptional short horror stories..few stupid stories that were not horror and kinda sucked...throw in some stories with not too subtle social commentary...combine all that with some so-so wanna be twilight zone type tales and you have this book. this author irks me because I have loved a ton of his books...and hated others so I don't know whether to keep trying or just move on.

What a snooze fest! Most stories are about drunk or alcool abuse, others are unoriginal (3 stories are about mirrors, the author seem to be traumatise by is reflection and alcool.) Bad horror, don't buy unless you are a14 years old who wants to proove to is friends something..

Really a good read! I enjoy Iain’s work so much. It’s always entertaining. No matter if it’s a group of short stories or a full length series. He never lets me down!

Sad it's over

I always enjoy reading Iain Rob Wright. More please. Every story had a twist ending. I can't wait for the next book. I think I'll join Patreon for Iain.

Good read!

I happen to love Iain Rob Wright's horror fiction and aside from a few duds ( sorry Iain), I was not disappointed.
