An amazing blend of dark realistic fiction, surreal stories, and some great spooky vibes. 

I don’t think this fits many of the traditional horror vibes or tropes. The stories are much more grounded, with understated or no supernatural elements. But they still really worked for me. 

The characters are the real stars here with every story having fleshed out, varied, and a believable cast.
