[Ronesa Aveela · Rating 5 out of 5]

As the title states, this is a rather dark collection of short stories. I was creeped out from the first story. Spiders. More terrifying than alien creatures. Most are complete within themselves, although a couple appear to be teasers for longer stories. There is a good mix of horror, sci-fi, and more to sink your teeth into. Yes, some blood suckers in the mix as well. There are plenty of twisted endings for your enjoyment.

That spider story creeped the hello kitty out of me, but overall good stories!
