Old Farmhouses of the North

What a delightfully bleak collection, I loved it.

Von Eschen's brand of horror is the type that instills a low hum of dread and unease and with this one she demonstrates that her skills are not limited to one particular genre of horror (what's your poison? Hauntings? serial killers? Aliens? She got you covered).

The writing is smooth and polished and there's a sense of interconnectedness to some of the stories (in some cases there's an actual connection too) but they can all stand on their own which made for a satisfying reading experience.

There's a lot of potentially triggering material in there ( necrophilia, loss of pregnancy, forced pregnancy, SA, animal death, religious themes and more).

Oh and there's a pumpkin patch, who doesn't need more pumpkin patch horror?
