Average Overall Rating: ★ 3.5 / 5
If you're looking for the perfect spooky anthology this autumn season, look no further than this spectacular *yet horrific* collection. A TON of these stories sent endless shivers down my spine to the point where I was jumping at every creak or shuffle in my apartment.

I rated these stories with a variety of elements: horror, interest, writing style, and overall "enjoyement"—or as much enjoyment as one can have from a horror story. The higher ratings specifically left an impact on me to the point where I could not get them out of my head for hours, days. A lot of times the familial aspects of these stories like in Eulogy for a Brother, Resurrected left a particular ache in my heart, or ones like Navajos Don't Wear Elk Teeth made me physically gag and have to stop reading for the rest of that day. A lot of the three stars were stories where I wanted more from the story; it felt like it should've been a novel rather than a short story because I needed more time with the characters, world building, etc.
