challenging dark mysterious tense fast-paced

5.0

I enjoyed most of the short stories in this book quite a lot. 

It is filled with very tense short stories who perfectly fit into the horror genre. Some are very uncomfortable to read, and I'd say check some reviews and trigger warnings before reading. But I think horror readers will quite enjoy this collection of short stories.

I especially enjoyed the folklore and mythical aspects in a lot of the stories.

Absolutely chilling haunting stories, from the almost silly and fantastical to gore and fear. split into three parts, The House, The Child and The Past, these short stories tap into the fears women have and the fears you didn't know to be afraid of.
