4.0

Fifteen creepy tales about sorrow, shame, heartbreak and no small amount of blood. If you enjoy horror, Red Lagoe’s collection of short stories will make you feel bad in the best way possible. I don’t think there’s a bad one in the book, but I particularly enjoyed the rage of “Don’t Make It Weird” and the joyful melancholy of “Fourteen Gallons”.
