This is a tough one to rate. Why? The book is advertised as a work of horror. In many ways it is, in others it isn’t. The Cthulu story is more sci/fi with a hint of bone-chilling horror. Aphrodite’s Tears is more a work of suspense and terrible regret. “Losing Him” is an excellent, “gotcha ya.” Story.I came across some punctuation issues. This could be the difference between the common English language we in the states and those in the UK speak. They didn’t detract from the stories at all.I enjoyed the prose of each different story. I commend the author for being able to be diverse and flowing with each style. Very nice.Of the six shorts I’m going with Sugar and Kingdom Falls.Sugar covers a topic many of us with aging parents can relate to. An excellent tribute for families who are dealing with a parent enduring the ravages of time. Very well craftedKingdom Falls takes twists and turns which are very refreshing. This story appears to be taking place in medieval times, till you start reading. It’s an excellent shocker. Princess is an abused child who in the end reaps her revenge and it isn’t pretty. Well done.All in all, a four star work.
