Interesting collection of shorts, not least because they were written with the clock ticking. I enjoyed the tone and pace of the Sangue stories, and a couple of the stand alone pieces are great, particularly 'Late' and the very raw 'Broken'.

Something for everyone!

This is a series of well written short stories many of which surprised me with clever plot twists. The stories are very imaginative and often take on unexpected perspectives. There is something in here for everyone. Light and dark stories showcase the authors variety and skills across multiple genres. If you enjoy easy to read thought provoking stories, give this ine a go!

Really busy as of late... But I quite like this collection of short stories. Feel welcome to check this out if you wish to look into a themed short story collection. Sangue is a cool guy.
