This book gives off physiological thrill to short stories. I enjoyed going through the sections of the book and chose freely whichever story I wanted to read. It felt like a joyful way to fill up my time while I freely dozed off to bed. I do not recommend reading this if you are easily spooked but I thoroughly enjoyed.

Pure dark fun! Short stories that race by like a flip book. It left me with surreal images of family ghosts, teenage homoerotic yearning, floods, grim and bemusing family members, and a lot of blood. The language bites, erotically and brutally.
