A great book prepping for Halloween - with all the different types of stories, there is bound to be at least one you love.
I was particularly drawn to three of the stories:
'Best Safe Life for You' by Muriel Gray - about protecting the family home against threats. It felt so realistic, although extreme, and the ending was a nice touch
'In the Wabe' by Alison Littlewood - about a missing daughter and a strange bronze statue. Eerie and heartbreaking with great imagery
'Autumn Sugar' by Philip Fracassi - about a young boy trying to find his dog and an earlier incident with his father. Great differing points of view about an event seen from both the adult and child, and it has the most chilling ending
Of course there were lots of other stories I enjoyed, but those were just my stand outs.
Overall, a nice collection of chilling tales that you probably don't want to be reading at night.
*I received a complimentary copy of the e-book from RandomThingsTours and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
