4.75

I’m giving this a 4.75 because it’s overall a fantastic collection of short stories with horror and other genre sensibilities done mostly incredibly well. I’m not going to ding the ones that didn’t hit for me too harshly because frankly those might work really well. Overall, I loved my time with this book. Reading it off and on for a year never felt like wasted time. I now have a whole plethora of black authors to check out longer novels and other works from.
