Overall this was pretty good with a lot of intriguing yet chilling stories. I think it took me a while to read because it’s composed of a bunch of short stories and therefore I felt like I didn’t need to rush through each story or continue to read to see what happens compared to traditional books. Some of my favorite stories were “White hills”, “Navajos don’t wear Elk teeth”, “Quantum”, “The ones who killed us”, “Snakes are born in the dark”, “Before I go”, “The prepper”, “Sundays” “Night Moves”, “Capgras” and “Collections”. Some of them I wish the story went on a little longer or have a more Climatic ending to make the story complete. Overall an intriguing and different read!
