Thank you Netgalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review.
His writing always seems to leave the decisions up to you. Should you be scared? Should this make you feel a certain way? It's really up to you. The horror you expect is more cut and dry skepticism and uncensored reality. You could blink and easily miss the high point of each short story. Strangely enough all these things can equally draw you in.

The simplicity is probably what Tremblay does best with his horror. It's not unnecessarily deep or attempting to be something it's not. I think this is definitely something to read if you're trying this genre out and don't know quite what you like yet. Like with all short story collections, some just don't hit but others will land beautifully.
