3.0
- The Hanging Game: 4/5 - A story with layers.
- The Last Banquet of Temporal Confections: 4/5 - Delightful and inventive. My Favourite from the bunch.
- A Human Stain: 4/5 - Eerie and disturbing, a story of betrayal and the allure of wealth. The most disturbing story from the bunch.
- St Valentine, St Abigail, St Brigid: 2.5/5 - An okay little story centering love, lust, loss, violence, power, sacrifice, growing up and moving away.
- Red as Blood and White as Bone: 2.5/5 - A fairytale that I wished focused more on the wolves.
- The Night Cyclist: 2.75/5 - A gloomy story, better for people who know more about cycling.
- A Cup of Salt Tears: 2/5 - An odd little story.
- The Little Witch: 3.5/5 - A surrealist story.
- Among the Thorns: DNF - I was enjoying it until the spirit was introduced after which I lost interest.
Overall Score for the ones I finished [8/9]: 3/5 - An interesting collection of stories with different levels of horror.
