My Thoughts: 4/5 stars
Do you like extreme horror? Do you like short stories? Awesome covers? Clearly, this is the book for you.
On to the horror! Personally, I’m a fan of short stories, i know they aren’t for everyone, but i think these might bring some readers to the side of short fiction. They’re compact, pack a massive punch, don’t spare any detail, and none of the gory and visceral scenes get cut short. All the blood you could want with the genre and plenty to make you cringe. In true Triana form, some stories will make you stop and think, wow, what’s wrong with me that i love these kinds of stories in the top three? The Devouring, The Bitch, and Hammer Time.
