This brief collection of 6 short stories revolves around common horror themes: zombies, occult rituals, gaining immortality, and vampires; but each story takes an uncommon twist.

These stories reminded me of old episodes of Tales from the Crypt, with budget plots and sets, but just enough delivery of twisted imagination to give a girl some unsettling dreams.

Written with a young adult voice tainted with slightly older experience, these stories come across as the vivid imaginings of a creative mind looking for an outlet. While entertaining in a gory sort of way, the works could use some fine tuning to ultimately capture the titillating essence of the horror genre.
