dark mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

Typical of any anthology, there were some gems in this book, while other stories fell flat. The Rider, The Wandering Devil, Eye & Tooth, and Happy Place were my favorites, with Origin Story deserving a honorary mention for being so odd yet thought provoking. The stories that I didn't enjoy as much tended to take on too many ideas in a short amount of time, or had convoluted plots.

Overall, I really enjoyed learning about cultures that I am less familiar with through the lens of horror/sci-fi.
