An incredible collection of small town folk horror and urban legend! Wonderfully eerie atmosphere and teenage terror to be found! Might only suggest reading each story a little spaced since certain setups and similar themes are repeated sometimes back to back, but each story most certainly held its own. Definitely see myself re-reading this in many autumns to come. 
My personal favourites included; Stay by Erica Waters, One-Lane Bridge by Hannah Whitten, Ghost on the Shore by Allison Saft, Third Burn by Courtney Gould, and It Stays with You by Aden Polydoros.
