Review: A good collection, but could give a bit more.

A collection of short stories all with a similar setting - the creepy town of Moon Hill. Most are supernatural scary, a few are criminal scary.Overall I enjoyed the collection, but there were two things that bothered me slightly:- the stories are a bit too short at times. I feel like I've just been introduced to a really cool character/setting/concept, and then it ends, leaving me hanging. I realize that this is the nature of short stories, but at times I felt that the stories could be more fully developed.- I was hoping that the town of Moon Hill would become sort of its own character that is developed through the short stories, but it didn't. In many of the stories the setting really didn't matter. There was a running theme of pumpkins in some of the stories (and on the cover) that I was hoping would grow into something, but it didn't."From Your Body They Rise" was by far my favourite story within this collection. Inventive and creepy in an almost Lovecraftian way.The writing is great, and the kindle edition is well put together, with few typographical errors and a hyperlinked table of contents.
