The first story was disturbing, the second was horrifying and the third would put you at the edge of your seat. This is the first psychological horror book I've read, which I think is why I couldn't wrap my head around at some parts at first, but after taking the time to reflect and recall on the events, it made everything even more haunting. I couldn't stop thinking about what happened, especially on the third story. overall, it was a good read for me!

Given how weird some of the tones are in this book, it is oddly forgettable only a year after reading it.
