I read this for my creative writing class. Was an interesting read. Some stories were more memorable than others and some really got a reaction out of me from the weird, dark, mysterious, gothic feel of it. Would recommend it to anyone who’s looking to be a writer and needs something different in terms of research and looking at how to set a scene up and hint things that develop over time to reveal something shocking. Very cool read but can be heavy at times too.
