This isn't bad, just not for me. Reads more like those "sad girl" books I can never get into than horror. I want to be scared, not depressed.

She writes very well but all of these stories have virtually the same plot. If these were separated and published in collections I don’t know if I would’ve noticed it but this was incredibly boring.

Just weird and not the good kind of weird. The very poor and flat writing wasn't helping matters. When I reached the second story in which a woman had to die, because she didn't return a man's affection, I DNF'ed it.

This feels like walking through a building that has long been abandoned, but as you pass by every room you’re struck with the history and horror that happened there.
