So many of these stories were wild! Obscure, short horror stories is an awesome concept for a book. The only frustrating thing is that I couldn't find much discorse online about them. Like, what does it all mean??

Most of the stories hooked me and I couldn't get enough of them. Some of them did suck. Like Desiree's Baby.... put that thing back where it came from or so help me. 🟢👁
