First time reading anything by this author & was thoroughly impressed! His ability to paint a full picture in such short stories, & whilst successfully creating tension blew me away! I strongly enjoyed a handful of these tales, but like any short story compilation- they can’t all be winners unfortunately. I would reread some of these stories again, but there were a handful that didn’t warrant a 5 star rating. Absolutely adored the author’s writing style though, & would love to check out more of his work!
