This was a solid collection of dark tales. A review will come when my brain returns to me.

Like Riding a Bicycle
A man learns to maneuver his way through a soul sucking job with a little nudge from a young lady. This was beautifullly evil 😈

Luxor Decanted
Oof this is a story of a cursed relic and its horrific backstory and the vacationing couple who meet their destiny 😳. This was dark and super creepy.

Papa’s Wrench and the Wind chime is the second story. It’s about an eerie brood of kids who live in a dilapidated house where some strange shit is probably happening. This is an odd family and a peculiar little story.

When Betsy Whispers is the first short story in this collection. The prose is strangely sensual and you’ll know what I mean you read it. And you must read it. Sinister and lovely. This is the stuff I adore. I can’t wait to dig into the rest 😊
