I appreciate the length of each short story. They were about 5 to 6 pages at max. Some of the stories I really enjoyed when it came to supernatural theme or more dark classic horror themes. Some of the stories did drag on a bit, but it was nice to be able to skip a story and not feel like you’re missing out on a major details since it is an anthology. By the time I finished reading the book, I did get a bit burnt out and decided not to read the last three short stories. In my opinion, the couple of short stories are the most interesting, and what really like pulled me into the book.
