Great short stories

I was given this book free for an honest review.

I liked the short stories. They were interesting, different, good character development, and narration was good. There's a couple stories that were great and maybe could have been expanded on to a longer story.

For fans of Sci-go horror

Very well written and the narrator is great, but I just couldn’t get into any of the stories. They were good, but nothing stood out to me as exceptional. The book equivalent of Chinese food, it’s good, easy to consume, but you’ll be hungry for something more filling later.

Do not buy

This book was awful. The only good thing was the narrator. The tales made no sense.
