31% (view spoiler)[These are some really odd and crazy short stories. The only one that kind of went well was the one with the guy coming to kill his rapist father. I'm going to assume there won't be any happy endings in sight lol (hide spoiler)]

72% (view spoiler)[Why are short stories always so weird. I always feel like there’s some message the author is trying to impart that goes right over my head. The Minotaur story was kind of cool though. (hide spoiler)]

83% (view spoiler)[Ok maybe it’s because this was the longest story of the bunch but I really liked this one. Totally creepy and at the same time I kind of want to side with the moms because she did try to warn him 🤷🏼‍♀️ (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[Why are short stories always so obscure and confusing? I know the author tries to cram a lot in and end with a bang but I always find myself puzzled in the end more than anything and this is no different. There were a few good stories thrown in I’ll admit but most came off pointless lol (hide spoiler)]

Father of Sins

(view spoiler)[ I love this one and from the moment he started talking I knew what would happen. (hide spoiler)]

Home sweet Home

(view spoiler)[ Well for a short story it was still creepy and made me shiver. (hide spoiler)]

The terrors of Doctor Marrow

(view spoiler)[ I feel like this one would make a great full length novel. (hide spoiler)]

Finished

(view spoiler)[ I enjoyed this and some stories struck me more then others. A nice creepy little read. (hide spoiler)]
