I had seen this authors name pop up before in relation to the horror genre (as well as his notably creepy book covers) and was delighted when i saw one of his books as an option for “stuff your kindle “ day. I immediately ‘brought’ it and settled in the same night to start reading. The first story was my favorite. Really wish he would’ve just stuck with that one and expanded it by a couple more pages. The second story was also interesting but the ending was a bit predictable (which wasn’t bad was just hoping it had went a different way) and the third had an interesting premise but was a bit boring for my taste. All in all a good collection of stories and a decent introduction into this writers work.
