Abyss by Darren Gallagher
4.0
Abyss by Darren Gallagher aka @dubhdara is a collection of short stories that run the wide spectrum of horror.
There's the silly, the dark, the intense, the b-movie horror camp, there's basically everything crammed into one book.
And honestly it works. Some stories do fall into the trap of needing a bit more space to breathe, maybe a bit longer would have been better, others I'm just greedy for more. There were some editing issues throughout (missing words punctuation etc.) But nothing that may be throw down the book and tell fuck you at it til I was done.
But all that aside the stories are genuinely enjoyable. It's a pretty light read that I was able to take my time with as I read some other heavy shit.
