A review by epsyphus
The Gathering Dark: An Anthology of Folk Horror by Tori Bovalino

dark emotional tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated

3.0

I liked some of these more than others. I read somewhere that when it comes to writing, and writing short stories in particular, that every sentence counts. Every sentence must be building your story and steering your reader exactly where you want them to end up. I think some of these stories were more successful at that than others. Some of them I felt a little confused with. Still, I love a good horror story and these were enjoyable.
