I was fortunate enough to receive a free copy of this book. I had a feeling it was going to be good and after reading, It’s one of the best books I have ever read. Right from the beginning of the first story I was hooked. I was always anticipating what would happen next and it always delivered every time. After I read one I kept thinking each story just keeps on pulling me in. A lot of the stories have a “Twilight Zone� influence, essence and take on them especially Mr. Hobbes� and being a fan of Twilight Zone I caught on and appreciated all of them to their fullest. One part I thought was interesting was either I knew exactly what was going to happen or I knew nothing of what was going to happen which of course had me satisfyingly shocked most times. Each author brought their own creative genius to their stories and all were well written, had good flow throughout and made you feel for the characters. Shocking, strange and bizarre would be three words to best describe most of the stories in the book. I loved how everything seemed normal and then slowly and gradually a twist or turn for the worst starting happening and it got me at the edge of my seat. The best part of reading the book was the mystery aspect. Reading and wondering oh dear god what’s going to happen and then when you find out the feeling is just as crazy as not knowing. I enjoyed all of the stories in the book and would definitely read it again. It’s very well written, thought out, have spine chilling or creepy gripping plots and are all excellent short stories and tales. I strongly recommend this book to anybody who likes the strange and bizarre or appreciates a good shock. Overall, an amazing and fantastic book.
