Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me an advanced audio copy of this title in exchange for an honest review.

This collection seriously blew me away. I finished reading it a few weeks ago, and I still think about several of the stories on a day-to-day basis. The audio version was fabulous-- there were several different narrators for the different stories and they really captured the mania, melancholy, urgency, and desperation needed for the different stories.

I gave this a 4 star since there were a couple of stories that just didn't quite work for me:
-Clown Face
-Saudade
-Hiraeth
-How Not to Come Undone

BUT, that being said, the following stories were amazing and I genuinely haven't stopped thinking about them for weeks:
-Repent
-Nodus Tollens***
-From within
-In his house
-Open waters
-Ring of fire

Each story was pretty different, but they all had that same ~vibe~ and you could tell they were written by a masterful storyteller. I feel bad rating it lower than a 5 star since I enjoyed these stories SO much, but anthologies are hard because it's almost impossible to have 10+ stories that all just *work* for a single reader. I would highly recommend this anthology for horror fans, especially if you love stories about desperation and what it means to be human.
