Review:
This short story collection is not only Halloween worthy, but worthy of any horror lover's bookshelf. I have to say, these stories were short but punchy. Scary, weird, unnatural, and downright gross in some ways. You won't be bored, that's for sure, as you travel among different stories of people who became ill, people who died, and one or two that will remind you of Hannibal Lecter. Yes, that extreme. It was a very intriguing read and well written!
5 out of 5 stars!
