1.0

Based on for my personal enjoyment and rating of these stories, I hated it. 

This book is filled with incomplete stories and trauma porn (specifically of women and children ). I guess if you want a really bad time, go ahead and read it.

Suicide happens in the story written in 2nd person view, and when the reader shoots themselves, it’s described as a pleasant thing.

Nineteen Claws and a Black Bird is a captivating collection of short stories that will shock, amaze, and even disgust readers. The stories are well crafted with well-drawn characters and unexpected twists, making for a memorable read.

Many of the stories in Nineteen Claws and a Black Bird are not for the faint of heart, as they deal with dark and unsettling subject matter and that will have readers cringing in terror. I have to say that some stories bored me but the excellent ones worth the read.

Overall, it's perfect for fans of horror and dark fiction . Whether you are a fan of the genre or just looking for a good read, this book is well worth your time. Just be sure to read Tender is the Flesh before diving in so you can prepare yourself for what's to come.
