- creepy scary eerie spine tingly
- the summary made it seem like it was majority supernatural type horror but there is a large focus based on unfortunately very real experiences as well
- majority of stories were good and easy to read and several of them were super great
- there are some serious adult dark themes here i can't remember everything off the top of my head so pls look up the TW if u need them bc theres MANY its probably safer to assume theres one of everything

When the stories were good they were amazing, but there were too many in there that fell flat for me.

Rating this was difficult - there were definitely some wonderful stories in this anthology, but an equal number of misses. My average rating was 3.82 and the mode was 4. Standouts included "Before I Go" by Norris Black, "The Scientist's Horror Story" by Darcy Little Badger, and "Uncle Robert Rides the Lightning" by Kate Hart.
The collection itself was a bit inconsistent, especially considering its "horror" genre tag.
