REVIEW
4 out of 5
I loved this! Obviously, I liked some stories more than others, but can we talk about how this was a great showcase of horror that involved a wonderful array of authors that are from around the world. The main theme is consumption/eating/food, and I know that might put a few people off. Knowing what I was getting into, it was much easier to enjoy it all. Great anthology.
