My Review
5/5 Stars
A collection of 18 dark, suspenseful stories.
Each story ended with a twist, some more surprising than others. While most of these stories were straight horror, there were a few dark humor pieces mixed into the bunch as well.
My favorites in the collection were:
The Suiter: A one-night stand goes horribly wrong.
Sledgehammer: A solider fed up with the sounds of construction work takes matters into their own hands.
Camera Shy: A hitman with a habit of recording his victims prior to the kill.
The narration brought every story to life.
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
