Average rating for collection: 3.4 stars
Final rating for collection: 4 stars
Overall, a balanced selection of short stories that I enjoyed. Be forewarned, there are a couple of these stories that are especially hard to read (pedophilia, SA) or gory AF (blood, torture).
I also listened to this collection on audio with a full cast narration -- all the narrators did a fantastic job!
