They Were Here Before Us by Eric LaRocca
3.5
dark
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Disturbing stories surrounding nature and death that work pretty well together.  The gore factor was top notch but since I didn't love 3 of the 6 stories, I can't give this more than a 3.5.

The first story and the last two were my favorites.  They had really bizarre moments that I thought were brilliant.  I wish the boy, bird and scarecrow story was a little longer or it'd be up here too.

The meerkats and chimp/monkey stories were meh to me.
