dark tense fast-paced

3.0

Another very quick reread of this next short story collection. 

I thought some of the stories were again too quick. But I did like the section that was "scary and funny."

Also, there is a story focusing on a Romani character, but in the stereotypical and sort of racist way that I don't think would be appropriate nowadays.

A spooky little book full of short stories. Some are stories better and more memorable than others. Definitely geared towards a younger audience, but still a fun read for all ages
