Thank you Netgalley and Titan Books for an arc of this title to read and review honestly.
I finished this title in one evening the book comprised of three short horror stories each completely different yet thought provoking and disturbing in their own ways.
The first story follows an exchange between two women Zoe and Agnes which leads to a contract with one woman becoming a sponsor and the other woman a drudge who has to do everything the sponsor says in return for love and money.
The second story follows a couple who have moved to an isolated island during winter season while mourning the loss of their son. While on this island they meet a man who's become stranded and needs help.
The third and final story follows an old man who finds a bone in his yard with his neighbours initials on it. He reaches out to the neighbour and gets involved in a game of betting that gets more sordid per bet.
Overall each story was disturbing in its own way and kept me reading wanting to see how it ended.
These short stories were really well crafted and perfectly encapsulated the horror genre each for different reasons.
Some of themes left me feeling uncomfortable and disturbed which was exactly what the author was intending I believe.
I would recommend this title for fellow horror fans who want a book of short stories they can get through quickly within a day.
