Rather than going by weeks this time, since the book is so short, I will open all the discussions up today and they will all be up until around the first week of October.

"The Nesting Place" was a good concluding story. I liked the implied backstory and how well the characters were drawn through only a few interactions. Again, the bones of it are a familiar story, but it felt original. I also liked that it turned around a few times at the end.
The Nesting Place was probably my favorite of the bunch, probably because it was longer and more fleshed out, with characters that had more depth. It was also the most chilling, in my opinion.
I found this one the creepiest of the lot, that scene where they are in the cave and Rebecca looks around and... SURPRISE EYEBALL WORMS! *shudder* Slithery slimey things are always the creepiest, and I really liked the artwork for Rebecca, how she seems kinda slithery from the start and especially at the end. I liked the message in this one too. That those stories grown ups tell you, the ones you think aren't real, well, you just never know! And I agree, I liked how much more in depth the characters were, and it was a fitting final story.
I agree this one has more classic horror to it. I got the chills from the things or shadow man in the basement hungering for the kids. I also liked how it ended, when she was pretty much getting away but then, oh, her brother has piano teeth too...
The conclusion was just sick. Why she do that?! Can't even feel safe in bed with a win because the wolf only needs to get you once! Dark, I liked it.
This was a fantastic story. I wish all of them were as long as this one. I really felt for Belle during the story. My favorite part? The panels where the adults were talking and you could only see bits and pieces of the conversation. Maybe it's because I have kids, but that's what I imagine it would look like if I was a comic and talking to my kids. They only half listen!Those damn wolves. They get me every time.
