I really enjoyed this project where multiple authors created this unique anthology and I would love to see more like it. Definitely happy I picked this up. At the end of the book you can see where to connect with the authors on social media. Looks like I have more books to pick up!

The vast majority of the short stories in this anthology are poorly written and feel like a high school creative writing assignment. A few were engaging and fun, but not enough to make the book worth reading.

I have a heard time with short stories because I always want more. A couple left me really shaken, but maybe 70-80% were just meh.

i found this book a good, fun one in itself, it kept itself fun and moving with the bite sized stories.
however some DEFINITELY suffered from the length limitations

"thats when the longtooth man runs" sent me to the stratosphere for example

i love horror but i rarely consume it in visual forms, and since found footage is mostly a visual horror trope, im not sure if its just a trope trait or just a fault of length here too, but some felt so tailless and not in the exciting thrilling ooo i wonder whats up what happened way but in a. well what happened cuz youre not giving much to work with here way
but even so, i had some favorites among the stories like summons; accident, of sorts; a small hand-built house

I found this collection fine. pretty much every story in here was serviceable and had that eerie feeling you get with found footage media. It didn't have any lows particularly but also never really hit any highs either. There were a handful of stories I did quite enjoy, I have to say it's bookended by the strongest entries. The first and last I was really taken with.
