My Review:
This book is a collection of short stories mostly themed around horror, alien, supernatural, reptile / alien creatures. I would say, the stories are mysterious, not gory or scary. But, only 3 stories in a collection felt very short.
By the way, the book cover is amazing!
The island
This story about a mysterious creature on a remote island is riveting and well written. But, it felt a bit predictable and fell flat at the end.
The Theme park
This story is interesting throughout and has a good unpredictable end.
The Visitors
This alien suspense is my favorite in the book. The suspense build-up is good till the end. The theme of the story is unique and the ending is not predictable.
My Rating: 4/5
