The Hair Wreath and Other Stories by Halli Villegas

2.0

I wanted to like this book because I'm a big fan of horror anthologies, and while some of the stories were okay, and some I could have seen going somewhere with a better editor, the majority of the book was quite disappointing. The stories were often at best derivative, and at worst, nonsensical. The author didn't seem to be willing to put the work in to create actually horrifying stories, instead relying on over-used cliches and tired tropes to do the heavy lifting for her, leaving the reader with no real connection to the story and no real idea of what had actually transpired.
