3.0

It’s reoccurring themes of manipulation and women hating feel misplaced and grow tiresome incredibly quick but when this book doesn’t focus on new serial killers with uncomfortable issues and starts having fun with its own Nightmare on Elm Street premises it can be incredible. Some stories would even still feel complete without the Freddy Krueger aspects like Briefcase Full Of Blues but that was a really interesting premise. Asleep At The Wheel and Le Morte de Freddy were good and felt like episodes in the Elm Street catalogue and even Dead Highway, Lost Roads had it’s Clive Barker-ian moments but the other 3 stories were either pretty unpleasant and horrible or went nowhere.
