The best thing I liked about this book is that I had no nightmares despite reading the stories before going to bed.
There are seven short stories, each with a different theme.
The descriptions are vivid, yet there is nothing overly gruesome or horrible. I think the balance of suspense, terror, imagery, and horror has been maintained well in all the stories.
My favorite story would undoubtedly be The Grim Melody followed by Magda. (these two are also the longest of the stories).
The language is simple and easy to read without taking the light away from the storyline.
I did feel that the last story Going Home was a bit too small, but maybe, that's how the writer wanted it. The story still managed to pack a punch.
Overall, anybody looking for some not-so-nightmarish horror stories should definitely try this book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

Reading a book from the middle of an anthology series is never an easy thing, except maybe here. As a standalone, the book has a great cliffhanger making me rush to see if I can get all the other books of the series.
The writing is easy to read with really strong imagery (which I totally enjoy) and some awesome descriptions of the setting and people.
It took me less than 2 hours to finish the book. And I was literally transformed to the place with mysterious folk and of course, a very cute and sweet young man.
