I’ve read a fair few short story collections recently, and usually the collection is linked by a particular theme or narrative. This is an unusual case, in that the collection is linked by a fictional setting, and I thought it worked really well! 

All of the stories are set at different times in the mysterious Grimlock Cove. From the very first story we learn to expect the unexpected as strange and spooky things happen. While I would have liked a few more connections between the stories, they all definitely felt rooted in the same setting and with the same sense of mystery and creepiness. They also varied in length which I really liked, with some shorter ones to get us into the spirit (no pun intended) and some longer ones at the end with a bit more plot to them. 

Overall this was a really fun read, a great introduction to Grimlock Cove and a fresh approach to the short story collection as a medium.
