Not all of the stories were my thing but there were a few that I enjoyed. The art is nice. Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and the author for a free e-arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Thank you to NetGalley for providing a review copy.
This collection of short stories and longer fiction could best be described as splatterpunk fairy tales from hell. If you like your fairy tales black as pitch with plenty of triggers, this book is for you. There's also a dry humor running through all the tales that I appreciated. 4 stars

A collection of creepy and entertaining horror stories. The art this book contains is great, fitting the vibe to the T!
Wish the description was a little better for this one. I went into it knowing absolutely nothing about what I was about to read and I then realized that this was a waste of my time. Definitely not for me at all.
I liked that this book took place in the same world for every story. You got to know the characters throughout each story. I thought the stories were unique and different.

BJ Swann in Aeon of Chaos is a first for me with this author, and this style. Short stories all centered in the Aeon of Chaos: a world full of unnatural beings, fey, and devils running freely.
Although all in the same world, these are all separate stories, and unique characters, with a dark & gritty twist. The style new to me, but a breathe of fresh violence! it never gets stale.
Gritty, dark fantasy that brings graphic sex, violence, and magic to life with vivid and living descriptions. I love it, give me more!
