I was given a complimentary copy of the book for an honest reviewI think this anthology has a mix of really interesting themes and stories, some of which authors don't really like to explore or meddle with. Each story had this eerie and mysterious feeling that kept you on your toes and left you wondering what might happen next. Some stories were too short, which left you wanting more and some where just the right amount of words to let you ponder over it and the immense possibilities. I really liked the take on all the stories, how the paranormal or supernaturnal aspects were written in a humanly way and made you feel like some of this events could happen to you or anyone.One of the most interesting themes were the interpretations of Death, the concept of Heaven and Hell and the mingling of good and bad in the Priest and Demon story. Also, the werewolf theme is expressed in a less fantastical way and a more raw and humane one which made you feel the struggle they had to live with by having to transform into these beings.Overall I'll give it a score of 4.5 just because it could have been longer and there are some stories in which I just wanted more content. These are the kind of stories that will make you think about the infinite amount of possibilities and make you reflect about some concepts that are so rooted in our minds that sometimes we don't think about what they could really be or if they are just something society has build them up to be.I recommend it to anyone who wants a short read of supernatural stories, with straighforward themes, and no sugar coating.
