Come As You Are by Steven Ramirez
3.0
This book sounded great: 10 horror short stories by a new author. Why not?
The first story, "Come As You Are" - was amazing. Enthralling, great characters, supernatural elements on top -I loved it!-, but, unfortunately, it was as far as good as this collection went
I found the other stories really disappointing. It was clear for me that the author had great ideas for them, but he just couldn't make them work. The other 9 stories were too short or really poorly developed to have the same impact as the first one had, so I reached a time where I was just waiting to finish this book.
"Walker", the last story, however, was a surprise. It was actually good, and considering its lenght, it was well-developed.
Overall, I'd rather prefer this book to have less stories that were better, than all these 10 whose majority was bad.
