The Roots Grow Into the Earth: A Collection of Short Horror Stories by Bert S. Lechner, Bert S. Lechner

3.0

I got this ARC from Hidden Gems Books and this review is, of course, voluntary.

A nice collection of horror stories that's very well-written. The writing is very descriptive, so it paints clear pictures and provides a lot of insight into what the characters are experiencing.

Not all of them were particularly horror-inducing to me personally, but a few of them were very off-putting. My favorite one would be "The Wall."

Also, I'd like to note that the influences the author mentions (Stephen King among them) are clear in his work, but he has his own style. Overall, I recommend this if you like cosmic horror!
