Sixteen stories that will linger long after turning the last page.

This collection features 16 stories that are wonderfully dark and twisty. I really enjoyed my time reading these stories, which definitely have a gothic and atmospheric feeling. The writing is a little more dense in some ways, so it’s writing that you need to sit with, but with the themes shown here that’s not a bad thing. I really enjoyed the author’s voice and flow, so will definitely be on the lookout for more from them.
Happy reading!
