Here we have a very interesting collection of seven bizarre and unusual tales. 'The Devil Made Me Do It' is a fine piece of fiction describing how horror video games became too real. Oh, not to forget the infamous Necronomicon is involved here. 'A Little Help' is one of the most impressive and saddest stories on child abuse I ever came across. 'Avarice Unleashed' is a story about a trapped demon unleashed by a small boy working as a cleaner of pipes. 'Stay Away From Samhain Town' is a great tale on human sacrifice for a demon. Every single one of those stories has something special in it and lures you in. You certainly don't won't to have a disturbing job interview as in 'Don't Watch The Clock.' The author did a great job with this collection. Love his melancholic prose, language and disturbing imagination. Highly recommended!
