I love this. First two stories are great. The first one was weird but interesting. The second was more of a classic horror vibe but kept my attention. These stories weren't really scary stories to me. They were more off-putting. The variety is great. I read one story before bed most nights. I think that's the best way to tackle this book. Overall I love about half of the stories and liked 4. There were some that I didn't like but they were not too many of those. Top four for me, Dark Home, La Siren, Your Happy Place, and Flicker. I think about Flicker a lot.

This was a great introduction to authors I haven't read yet. Overall I would recommend.
