Reviews with the most likes.
most of them were 1/5s and 2/5s for me, although they were not really bad, just very forgettable - and many not really horror, but just ”new weird”. There were a few 5s, though, that raised my overall impression, like those from Joel Lane, Tim Lebbon or Joe Lansdale.
Not a bad book, and still rather enjoyable as a past time, yet not at all a memorable one.
