This is a collection of short stories that surprised me. They range from fantasy to contemporary time periods. Each story is in their own world. I forgot everything else with each short story I read. Not all stories do this for me especially short stories written all by the same author. The stories twist in each kept me reading and enjoying it! There were unusual supernatural stores, myths, and ghost tales. There are stories that aren't scary but are still were engaging to me. They are all somewhat dark. This is a book that could introduce short stories to the novel readers and enjoy reading. Don't pass it by because it's a short story collection!

Some of these stories were really great! It's rare to find a book of short stories where you like them all; some were definitely stronger than others and some were not that great. Nevertheless, worth a read, particularly if you enjoy short format.

This being my first attempt at reading a short story collection, I have to say that it was a great experience! Every story is intriguing and packed with something unusual, with characters that you can live vicariously through, and supernatural elements that you could never have dreamed of. There weer so many myths and legends and ghost tales that were brought into this collection, and it was just great to read so many different stories about them all! I actually enjoyed the cliffhanger feeling that each story left me off with because it made me go through a rollercoaster of emotions, and culminated in a dramatic ending that made me literally go "woah"! Some of the longer stories could have used some more transition elements but other than that, I really enjoyed everything I read! Overall, this was a great experience for me, and I cannot wait to read more short stories!

This book surprised me. I wasn’t expecting much because the blurb was a bit vague on what the stories were about. All I knew was this ‘Some are ghost stories, others are simply scary, and most have a twist in the tail. In each story, there is a character who, one way or another, feels lost.’
I can honestly say that it delivered on that promise. What it contains a number of delightfully twisted little stories, that aren’t always scary, and there may have been one about time and a wish that went over my head, but were none the less fascinating and enjoyable to read.
Do recommend for anyone who likes twists and a little bit of horror (at least the kind without gore). If I had any complaint about this book, it would be simply that it was not long enough for me, but then I’m greedy like that.
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.
