I’m not sure that short stories work for me in this particular genre. I would like to read longer versions. An impressive collection that left me wanting more

Excellent. 

Short story collections, are always a gamble, but there were very very few of these pieces that didn’t thrill me. Indeed, I typically could only read one at a time, before pausing to allow the chills to settle and the messages to echo. 

Worth reading, especially if you’re Australian.
