3.5, this was a good collection of scary short stories! This is a quick read with a variety of works that are all terrifying in their own rite. My favorites were Meat, The Lookout, The Well, and The Kids Who Came Back. While the majority of these stories were satisfying reads, I felt that others fell flat. The Dangers of Smoking in Bed was too short a read with too many droning details to pack a punch. Adversely, I felt Back When We Talked to the Dead focused on minor details that took the focus away from the plot and the ending was lackluster. The concepts of every story fascinated me, I just wish that a few of them were executed in a more concise manner so they would have actually been scary. I did enjoy the way that Enríquez ended each story in a way that felt like closure but, it wasn't black-and-white. If you're looking for something short, spooky, and quick to read in October, this is a good contender.
