4.5

Actually more of a 4.5 rating because some of the stories lost me with their inspiration for their story but that was only like two really. Some of the writing was very child/teen centered which was totally fine but definitely more od a tasted tidbit for those interested in diving into more horror. There were a few that were inspiring on their own which I wouldn’t mind seeing them made into a film anthology and few that would work great as a much more extended stand alone. Would I read this again? Not in its entirety but definitely the ones that I favored more than the others. I would highly recommend this to those that want to read horror in baby steps.
