[Freddy · Rating 4 out of 5]

An amusing collection of grisly short stories, framed as a collection of journals left to a paranormal investigation agency.

I’m a sucker for an anthology, and these bite-sized horror stories were a fun little read. Nothing too gruesome, but just enough to keep things exciting.

Now that the book has introduced me to the peculiar town of Valley Falls, I’m looking forward to reading (and solving) more of the locales various mysteries.

I absolutely enjoyed these short stories. Not to give anything away, but I enjoyed how they tied back to Valley Falls. Remembering cases I personally worked on or ones I have but have not had the opportunity makes it worth it.
