It's hard to review a collection of short stories. On average, I found the stories very engaging and imaginative. However, most felt like ideas that hadn't been fully realized and could of been developed into their own full lenght books. I really enjoyed how at the end the author wrote a paragraph for each short story, explaining what inspiried him to write it. It's rare to get a peak behind the curtain like that and it made me like the stories more. This book is described as horror but I wouldn't personally classify it as such. It's more of a thriller with supernatural elements.
