strong start that peters a bit but still better than 3 stars.

An exception and surprising collection of short stories that are both fantastic and creepy. I do not normally care for horror a great deal, and these stories do stop short of truly horrific - instead building an amazing tension and unsettling atmosphere, through truly interesting stories, often with beautifully crafted twist endings.
Highly recommended to any fan of the darkly fantastic.

I'm not usually a huge fan of short stories, but I like to try them every now and again. This was one of my favorite collections so far. Of course there were some stories I really enjoyed and others I didn't. I was hoping that it was going to be more horror-themed, but it was more sci-fi.
Overall, definitely a worth while read.
