Customer Reviews

A pretty decent anthology

This was a pretty decent anthology. My favorite story though, was the final one. Not because it was the last one either lol. It was just very beautifully written. Along all the horror of pretty much the same ilk, this one was grief horror and it was such a heartfelt piece with just the right amount of scare to go with the other emotions it was hard not to love it. I'm not usually big on reading anthologies, but I'm glad I got this one. Blumhouse definitely needs to take a few of these and make them movies, I think they'd be big honestly.
