This dark and twisted anthology is ideal for horror fans, especially if you love short stories and indie authors. It will also make you wary of friendships, whether best friends, new friends, imaginary, animal, supernatural… This is the theme of the book, with every story being in some way about friends. Some of the stories are rather gruesome; I preferred the stories which had less gore and violence, but the great thing about this collection is the variety of styles and content. I was excited to try every story! Particular highlights for me were ‘AI Pals Incorporated’ by Alana K Drex, ‘Christmas Every Day’ by Lance Loot, ‘WTF is a Squish?’ by V S Lawrence and ‘Tulpa’ by Camille Voss, but the best story of all was ‘Caged’ by T M Lunn, which was an intriguing and surprising take on the theme. The book is a recommended read if you enjoy horror, but even if it’s not a favourite genre, I’d still recommend it because with so many stories to choose from, you’re sure to find some favourites.
