I love short stories. Especially in the Horror genre. I don’t read enough of them and that’s a shame.

These stories from Anoka were down right horrifying. They made my skin crawl. I find that stories dealing with children or addiction are what haunt me the most. I’ve spent most of my life battling addiction and I’ve been in some dark dark places. So, these stories definitely made me squirm.

After all the stories were told, the author took time to explain each story and the meaning behind them. That was actually my favorite part. Knowing how the author dug deep and did his research made me appreciate this book so much more. 

I’m looking forward to reading more of Shane Hawk’s work. Anoka was the perfect introduction and I want more.
