1.5

A few decent stories amongst a bunch of "and then the monster got him" over and over. The Bogrot has the feel of a fun campfire story, and the one about the body on the beach is entertaininly unpleasant, but too many of these feel like half formed beginnings of books rather than perfectly formed flash fiction. Also, if there was an editor, they should be fired. Names change, villagers become townspeople.
