Some of these stories left me unsettled in the best of ways. I really enjoyed the writing style, but I felt like some stories cut off when I needed more. I'm definitely curious about the writer now and look forward to reading some longer works.

I have been looking forward to this book ever since it was announced. I have had the pleasure of reading some of Rebecca's work in various Quill and Crow publications, and this collection is everything I'd hoped for and more.
The stories range from modern day to the days of the Salem witch trials and vary in theme, and I eagerly devoured every single one. It took only two days for me to finnish this book because I was eager to see what the next story held.
My absolute favorite story in this collection is "Honeymoon". I found the use of the second person perspective really added to the tension and anguish of Darlene. I don't want to spoil the story but I will say that I will be haunted by this tale for years to come.
In conclusion, I absolutely recommend this collection to anyone who enjoys gothic literature or even just truly dark stories.
