dark mysterious medium-paced

3.75

Very well delivered horror. The thing that bothered me was that the stories would end abruptly when there was a lot of potential in a lot of them. It felt like the author got bored and decided to end them with a single sentence. 
My favorite short stories: The Cart, Where Are You Dear Heart?

Short stories with a sinister edge, Enriquez writes of a vivid, dark modern world.
