It actually took me years to finish this book because some of the stories were so disturbing to me that I had to put it down. I’m glad I finally finished it because the last story was by far the best and most creative. Sometimes the scariest thing can be the unknown… and small spaces.

Every single story has stuck with me, and a few that I am sure will linger forever. You get a lot of different themes and emotions invoked between all the stories. Looking forward to reading this again someday.

Some of these were great. Some of them were strange. Some were flat. I expected more scary, but I was pleased by the depth to many of them.

My Father's Mask is my favorite thing I've read for a long time. Hill has a knack for making the reader relate to the character flaws in these stories. It is definitely worth your time to read this.

It was so weird. I wasn't attached to any of the stories. I really tried. I read almost half of them and kinda liked one. That's being generous.
