I love the poetry and short stories in this. I was mostly expecting supernatural horror, but there was sci-fi and some comedic horror.
My favorite poems "How to Recognize a Demon has become your Friend" and "How to Recognize your Friend has become a Demon" and my favorite stories were "The Power", "Milez to Go", "369 Gates of Hell', and "Boo".

The cover is kinda cute.

I saw this book in the 2021 horror releases and decided to pick it up for one of the challenges because it was short. I didn't expect it to be 50% poetry. But I love the mixture between poetry and short stories. However, it wasn't what I expected it to be. I cant believe I'm saying this but I think I like the poetry parts more than the stories. There was only one of them that I enjoyed. Most of the stories were weird and boring.
