Before You Wake: Three Horrors by Adam L.G. Nevill

dark mysterious medium-paced

• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

I can't tell if I liked this more than the first three stories I read by the author. The writing seems somewhat stronger, which is understandable as the featured short stories were written later. Somewhat more sophisticated too.

Whilst reading these stories, I couldn't shake the feeling that they reminded me of Junji Ito's horror. Each story is very different, and all feature unique ideas!

Out of these three, I don't have a stand-out favourite. Perhaps the first one? I did enjoy the irony in it.
