So I bit because summer is the last time before October when I hit horror. For a $3.99 kindle book that was 115 pages I wasn‘t mad at it. These 13 stories felt like flash fiction. And I felt the writing could have been a touch better. There were a lot of crevices Basu could have colored in that would have enhanced the story. However those were my only cons. What he does have here are 13 great seeds from which to grow a novel maybe. Cause I did👇🏼

Reggie find myself wanting to know more about some of the characters in here. My favorite was Our Next Author (very creepy), followed by Sacrifice (dark, wonderful, and witchcrafty) and My Wife was Psychic for a Short While. (The great wtf!!! story to start the collection) Good stuff!! (edited) 5y
