This is a super strong collection with little to no skips. There are plenty of horrifying moments, from the first story that requires a type of murderous (but righteously so) doppelganger through to tales of humans-as-monsters, cursed roads, and the horror of colonization. It's also a great who's who showcase of modern indigenous authors and an excellent reference for further reading.
Since these stories are rooted in oral tradition, I highly recommend the beautifully produced audiobook. Highly recommended if you're into folklore, ghost stories, and great writing. 4.5 on SG rounded up to 5 for GR.
