4.0

I buddy read this with two of my good friends from BG, Johann and Mindi which was way fun. All three of us got Nocturnal Reader's Boxes and this book came in the box. There are 5 short stories in this book. The first one, Maggots, was OK. The second one, Priest's Hole I didn't care for at all. But the third story, Gnaw is worth buying the whole book. It's so unsettling. Even the writing was weird and foreign to me. The story and imagery totally got under my skin. I loved it! The Best Story I Can Manage Under the Circumstances is the 4th story and it was so WEIRD! It had me laughing and nervous at the same time. Skin Deep was another fantastic story. So overall I very much enjoyed this collection of stories.
