3.5
A collection of short stories touching on many different types of horror (psychological, bestial, zombification, body). Not particularly scary, but unnerving throughout.
For a horror, I was looking to feel more uneasy and horrified, but I did not get as much of that emotion as I thought I would.
Still, the eerie premises are well built-up, and the short stories, in general, are well-written and paced, bringing the reader along for a dark and sinister journey.
