Absolutely loved this collection, just like I expected I would! By now you'd know how much of a fan I am of Shawn's works.

Every single story pulled me in, true some weird a bit hard to get into at first, but quickly the fog cleared up and I found myself at the edge of my seat.

I really enjoyed the mix of eerie, unsettling, and downright creepy. Shawn has such a great way of building tension and atmosphere, making even the shortest stories feel immersive. The writing was solid, and I found myself thinking about a few of these long after I finished. 

Definitely a must-read for horror fans, and I’ll be looking forward to whatever Shawn writes next!
