I think there was some good potential here, but there was something just so off about each other stories. The first two had a lot of creepy potential but both were written so childishly that it threw me off. The final story felt like it was written by a completely different person and, while again it had some great creepy vibes, left a lot to be desired with the ending.

Some stories were genuinely creepy. Some stories fell flat.

4.5 stars
I really liked this a lot! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I wanted more from that last story!! The ending felt abrupt and a little rushed to me. I know it's short stories but maybe if they were just a couple of pages longer? Regardless I loved all of the stories, my favorite was the second one. I will definitely be picking up more from this author.
