• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? N/A

2.5

I feel like I can't really judge this anthology as sci-fi or spec fic, because it has a very high horror component to it...and I can't really judge it as horror, because horror just isn't my jam. I can say that the writers overall are able to evoke some very graphic scenes, very clearly, and if you dig horror, you might like this collection of stories. I really didn't enjoy it.
