REVIEW
5 out of 5
I…don’t even know where to start, this was dark, chilling, and each story brought horror in its own unique way. I enjoyed each story, the characters, the magic, the worlds, and the darkness they brought. The stories are varying lengths, some might take you a few minutes to read, others a little longer. Honestly, I read through this quite quickly, curious about what new horrors awaited. I was already familiar with The Black Cat by Edgar Allen Poe, and it was easily the least chilling story of the bunch. (I read it again out of curiosity, as it’s been quite a few years since I read Poe). Some of these can get quite graphic and gorey, but it all fits in well with the story being told. Each story is memorable, but I’d say Don’t Forget to Feed and Red Gifts will likely haunt my dreams, for very different reasons. (But I don’t want to give spoilers, so I won’t go in depth). Honestly, we’d be here for a while if I were to touch on each story and what stood out to me the most from it, but I don’t know if I’d be able to without accidentally giving spoilers, and you really need to experience this for yourself.
