5.0
Highly recommended anthology. Each story offers something different yet remains in keeping with the themes of death and desire.
Each story is beautifully written and creates a shivering atmosphere, no matter the genre.
It was the first story, Crowthorne, that first introduced me to Andrew's work and it haunts me still. I'm extremely happy to now have a treasure trove of stories in one volume and can't wait for more.
Buy this, I promise you won't be disappointed. It is perfect reading for the spooky season.

A meaty collection of dark fiction. Andrew is excellent at building tension and more than once I caught myself holding my breath. Orpheus Descends was my favourite but you are spoilt for choice here.
