The Bone Mother

One thing that I absolutely loved about this work was Demchuk's ability to create and sustain a mood of unease and horror throughout the different stories that make up The Bone Mother. It's hard to do that consistently across different stories in an anthology like this, so kudos to the author for that!

On the whole, though, I found it hard to connect to the stories. Many of them were just too short - there was no time to establish the characters in a way that made their fates interesting. I think I would have enjoyed this more if it had fewer stories that were more fleshed out.
