One of the most unique horror anthologies I have ever read! I almost didn't get through it but only because I was listening to the audiobook and I did nottt like the first narrator but the stories definitely made up for it.

Strange, grim stories, some better than others. I enjoyed the first half of the book more than the last, but I think it's mostly because the narratives started to feel a bit repetitive. Wong has a beautifully dark imagination and I like a book that is haunted, but the enjoyable shock of the macabre wore off after awhile and I found myself losing interest.
The parts that were darkly funny were my favorite and I would have liked more of that.
If you're going to read this prepare for gore and a fair dose of torture.

a book of short stories - that look at everyday horrors, histories and mythologies.
Some of the stories I just could not get into and some I loved , most of them I felt that they asked interesting questions.
