Really interesting collection of short stories that I almost liked as much as let the right one in. Sadly some of the stories were a bit underdeveloped but all of them were really interesting premises and it was refreshing to have such bite size chunks of dark and mysterious books that didn’t draw out the ending. Very graphic in places with elements of the spiritual and the supernatural which were spoken about in a very matter of fact way, making them far more believable. Will always love this writers style and the macabre imagery he paints is second to none.
