siento que el hype si me pego esta vez, siempre que alguien hablaba de este libro veía solo reseñas positivas, calificación de 5 estrellas, etc, entonces mis expectativas estaban por los cielos (lo cual nunca es bueno) y honestamente si me sentí un poco decepcionada.
Algo que me gusta mucho en las historias de terror es que te dejen lo peor a tu imaginación, sin embargo, aquí estaba usado en CADA HISTORIA, lo cual lo volvió un poco molesto tbh, además, siento que a la mayoría de las historias les falto un poco más de información para que esto de los finales abiertos funcionara.

The author has a very in-depth grip on characterization and is consistently excellent at giving us the correct amount of information so that all the characters feel real and important and tangible, but when you are finished you still feel slightly robbed of closure, which in the context of horror short fiction, is perfect.
However, I knocked off a star because I am not feeling so impressed by the writing or the content that I am overwhelmed—I just feel a normal amount of impressed, if that makes sense. It's excellent short fiction, but it did not always hit me where I hoped it would.
