Review

All of the stories in this book are quick reads.  They cover a variety of genres and while I haven’t read every story in the book yet, the ones I read were dark and gritty (sort of like that “I need to take a shower now” feel) but the stories make you think about life and how you would react in different situations.

While most of the stories are horror-type books, there is a message in each one.  Several of the stories could be expanded even more if the author chose to create a full-length book.

Definitely worth picking up and reading!

We give it 4 paws up.
