If you love a good horror anthology with a variety of stories, this is a good place to start! The stories were good and I very much enjoyed the writing style and atmosphere.
Thank you to NetGalley and Sunbury Oress for the opportunity to read this ARC!

The writing here is phenomenal, and I can't wait until it comes out. It is horrifyingly good, I don't want to say too much or give anything away.

The stories are excellent, my highlights include Bloody Creek, Arborgork, and To Bee or Not to Bee.

For the most part I enjoyed this. In some of the shorter stories there’s a frustrating detachment from the characters that makes them feel pretty one-dimensional. In many of the stories, the exposition is a bit too on the nose. I found myself laughing at some parts, particularly the cartoonish villain and silly reasoning in Dead Things. I think there are a lot of great ideas here and I would definitely read more of them.

This is a collection of short stories, ranging from horror, sci-fi, and mystery. If you love horror, then this is for you, as there is plenty.

I really enjoyed the book, highlighted shorts would be: Bloody Creek, Friends, Arborgork, Infection, Problem Deleted, and Rejection.

'Infection' was my favorite, and I would devour a full novel just based on it alone. 'Problem Deleted' was a fantastic concept, and I'd love to see the others' contributions to the anthology, especially if they were similar to this.

Some of the stories are only a few pages long, but the detail and descriptions provided makes it feel like they're bigger than they actually are. The wide variety of shorts is also appreciated, because you get to experience multiple kinds of thrills. I would recommend this book.

There were some misspellings, like a name being written one way and two sentences later in the same story, being written different (Derek vs Derrick, then back to Derek, or Bryan vs Brian), but wasn't too distracting overall.
