This was a spur of the moment purchase based solely on the cover and because Erica Waters has a story in here and I'm SO HAPPY I ordered! These stories were eerie, grotesque, atmospheric, perfect for spooky season! I had to put the book down a few times because some of the stories really got to me. I liked some more than others, but that's a risk you take when ordering a book of short stories, but they were all great!
