      Truly creepy, disturbing, & anxiety inducing collection of stories. Highly recommend!

      It's difficult to review this one for some reason. It's compulsively readable, the prose is excellent, and the stories are imaginative, and pull you right in. Another nice thing is the length of the stories, each one is pretty bite-sized and easy to read in a single sitting. Sometimes I even devoured several at a time. For some reason though, despite being well written and haunting, none of the stories packed that visceral "this is a great story" feeling for me. Maybe they were too short to develop enough meat on their bones? Maybe the endings felt rushed, or instead of "open-ended with possibility" they felt... a little "intentionally confusing"? Not sure how to express it, but it forces me into having call this collection good, but not great, despite the overall quality of the writing.

      In my effort to read almost all horror this month, I've learned a lot about my reading preferences, and reading horror short stories was like a microcosm of the process. I enjoyed this collection overall, with my three favorite stories being "The Spindly Man," "The Dead Are Not," and "After the People Lights Have Gone Off." The final story ("Solve for X") was the most difficult for me--I just can't handle kidnap/torture stories involving women--but it did have an interesting ending.

      But man. After finishing this and Bird Box, I don't know how much more intensity I can take...
