Excellent collection of eight really macabre tales. In 'I am the Storm' a husband meets his wife who was killed in a car accident in an eerie parallel world. 'Deep Waters' shows a son finding the diary of his father. What evil is lurking at the bottom of the lake? 'Run Rabbit Run (one of the most macre tales I've come across for a long time) let's a reverend who lost his faith tell the true meaning of easter to a bunch of children in a hospital ward. Why is he wearing a bunny costume when waiting for the police to arrest him? Arnie is afraid of 'The Visit' to his bedridden grandmother. Then he finds a solution to overcome his fears. 'The Light That Brought The Dark' depicts a family driving to Land's End as they sense the end of the world being near. 'Glovebox' is the tale of Jens who takes a taxi. The taxi driver is a bit strange though. Trent has a new food supplier for his 'Burger Van'. Why are all the dogs in the neighbourhood watching him? In the last story you deal with 'Leftovers'. What kind of food is sold at Gruebner's. Those stories are to the point and absolutely captivating. Highly recommended!

Middling quality horror stories
This book is adequate. It is not terribly written and delivers passable stories.
There is nothing original here. The stories are tired takes on stuff you will have seen before. But the author has enough skill to put his own spin on the stories and give them a slightly different taste. But it is akin to the difference an extra pinch of salt would make to a chain restaurant meal.
The author has some pacing problems with bloated middles and rushed endings. This detracts significantly from the book as a whole and from most of the stories. The stories are short enough that it isn't insurmountable.
If you're looking for some familiar horror to keep you entertained this is a decent choice. You won't be blown away, but you won't be overly dissatisfied.
