I really don't know how to feel about this book.
It's a collection of "horror/thriller" stories. Any collection of stories has a mix of good, bad and mediocre stories of course. That's to be expected. But this one? This had more.. mediocre than good I suppose.
There were a LOT of spelling and grammatical errors in this. which just feels extremely unprofessional to me.
There were maybe two... "interesting" stories to me, but overall, most have a repetitive theme involving sexual abuse and/or bad relationships.

I expect a few typos or formatting errors in a self-published manuscript, but the number of times I saw "quite" for "quiet" and "suite" for "suit" in this book was unacceptable. Any proofreader could have caught these errors if I could see them on a quick read.
The subtitle "15 Tales of Supernatural Terror" isn't exactly accurate. The first story in the collection has no supernatural element. A small detail to mention in a review, maybe, but I expect honesty on a book cover.
Several of the stories do show originality and a flair for horror. One in particular, concerning a deal with the devil, was quite chilling. However, the recurring themes of sexual abuse and terrible relationships are a bit hard to take by third or fourth time they pop up in a single collection.

Spelling would be great but the publishing company didn't do their job.

I really liked this book but I did notice that there were too many areas that the book reviewer had not fixed other than those mistakes the book was great.
