Short story collections are usually hit or miss for me, but I thoroughly enjoyed this one! The stories are just the right amount of spooky/creepy while also hitting on real world issues. I didn't realize the time connections until later in the book, but I think that's brilliant. Spanning a wide range of time, looking at the same family. It really creates an interconnectedness for the stories throughout.
Honestly, if you're looking for something a little bit creepy to read this October, I'd recomend this! The audiobook was fantastically done, and you get a wide range of monsters in it. Both huuman and non-human.
