The Cold People: and Other Fairy Tales from Nowhere by Felix Blackwell, Colin J. Northwood

dark tense fast-paced

3.5

This should’ve just been a collection of Felix’s interconnected stories. Colin’s stories felt very off-topic compared to the others. But, I enjoyed a lot of these stories! Several were truly terrifying!
