A review by wylanslcve
Tales of the Peculiar by Ransom Riggs

I’m not usually one for companion novels, but this was truly delightful! While there were stories that I wasn’t particularly fond of (such as the one about the cannibals — I am disturbed by anything that has to do with cannibalism) yet I still rather enjoyed this. These tales are deeper than they are on the surface, which is why I rated some of them higher than I would have had I not noticed how much meaning they contain.
