4.0

These are horror stories with depth and bits of social commentary weaved in. Internal and external darkness is used as a common underlying theme. I usually can’t get into anthologies, but I thoroughly enjoyed the short stories.
→ An intruder meets their match in the dark. An immortal exploited by the church. A spiritual doppelganger. A twisted tooth fairy scheme. An anniversary story with a Frankenstein twist. A girl inherits a ‘haunted’ house (WTF). A clairvoyant battling time and fate. A girl cursed by the Devil. A patriarch terrorizes his family via dolls. A meetup between two long lost twins is disturbed by a zombie outbreak.
