Overall the collection was successful. It brought the dark fiction that is included in the subtitle. However, I think my assumptions about the sorts of stories that would be featured in here was slightly off. It was definitely more dark and reflective as opposed to creepy and spooky. The horror aspect simply comes from the realities of the past and the traumas that have been created as a result.
By no means is this a flop. It sings. I just needed to know how dark this was going to get before stepping into its waters. Perhaps some trigger warnings at the beginning of stories would have been immensely helpful.
My favorites were:
- Scariest. Story. Ever.
- Human Eaters
- White Hills
- Collections
