5.0

Savoured every story in this beautifully chosen and curated collection. Shallow Creek is more than a selection of stories focused on a theme -- it the weaving together of an atmosphere, a place, a vision, and I haven't read anything else quite like it. Fear and grief and worry and trauma and our own amplified flaws haunt the pages, with each story seamlessly contributing to the full experience of what it means to inhabit Shallow Creek.
