I did not expect to like this and was not going to read it, but it came in a bundle that I bought and I decided to randomize a list of all of the unread books that I already own and this one came up on top. It turned out to be really good! Like any collection, some stories were better than others but none of them were bad. I wasn't a huge fan of the few prose poems, but they were short and still kind of interesting. The rest of the stories mostly have a structure and cadence that they feel like campfire tales and a lot of them had some pretty clever things in them.  Overall, it's a really good collection of horror stories.
