This was okay. I admit I'm not a big horror fan (I read this for a bookclub), but I wasn't feeling suspense or shock with most of the stories - just grossness. Only a couple of the stories worked for me and it just felt a little thin overall. I appreciated the themes and the representation but the writing was... not great. At least it was a short collection. Also I live 20 miles from Anoka and had no idea it was "the Halloween capital of the world"!
