I often find collections to be a mixed bag and this is no exception. Brian Knight appears to have quite an eclectic take on horror, varying from extreme body horror and splatterpunk to much more psychological focus on grief and reality. To be honest it is the latter end of this spectrum that i found the most engaging. The story Dakota is beautiful and heart wrenching and by far the stand out of the show, and the one I keep finding coming to my mind long after reading this. Another interesting highlight was a twisted take on a Poe story (The Cask of Amontillado recast as a The Case of a Thousand Dildos...). At the weaker end there is some decidedly rapey stories in here which I found somewhat uncomfortable to read (and not in a good way).
Somewhat uneven, but at its best it is very good
