I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Horror novels are great, but there's something so satisfying about being able to move from one terrifying scenario to the next in quick succession.

C. J. Tudor does an excellent job with a small amount of pages; her settings, world-building, and--most importantly--ability to create an ominous sense of dread all come through in her work. Each story is slightly different in its tone and the themes it covers--some are more gory; some rely on psychological horror; some are funny with incidental horror. Her introduction before each story also enriches them and makes them more enjoyable.

As with any collection, some of the stories are stronger than others; standouts for me are "End of the Liner," "Final Course," and "The Copy Shop." But they are all Solid Spooky Season Stories.
