I have really struggled with short story collections in the past but I think I have started to find my groove with them, horror short stories. A horror story just works in a short story format so much better than a lot of other genres for me.
I really liked a lot of the stories in this collection. Nine of these stories I rated 5 stars (the overall rating is lower because there were a few that I really didn't like and that drug the whole rating down some). Overall though, definitely recommend for fans of zombie stories. Lots of fun.
This book counts for r/Fantasy Bingo 2022 for a book with two or more authors and for the Magical Readathon: Orilium for the Autumnal Equinox 2022 for a D in Spells and Incantations for a book that I annotate.
