4.25
4.25* (edging to 4.5*)
A very mixed set of stories - genre/tropes, subject matter, and in a couple of cases, quality.
This isn't a pure horror collection, there's elements of scifi in some stories as well.
Notable standouts for me include Dark Home, The Rider, Flicker, Hide & Seek, The Most Strogest Obeah Woman of the World, and The Norwood Trouble.
Definitely read Jordan Peele's editors note as that captures the essence of what ties this collection together
