This was an excellent collection of short horror stories by an author I had not read before. Each story dealt with topics that many of us most likely have dreamed about, wondered about, or feared before (either as children or adults). They were all very creative and even the stories that were short, packed a good wallop!
I especially loved “Adventures in the Dark” which explored themes of “good Christian folk” who are actually nasty people to hide behind their faith yet still judge others and commit bad acts and what happens to these people, “She Can Help” which dealt with the trauma of domestic abuse and our attackers getting their come-upings, “Hungover”, which plays on the well-worn vampire trope but in a very well-done manner, and “It Was Always the Children” which played out like an Invasion of the Body Snatchers movie.
A very well-done collection of stories for sure!-Chuck Jones
