The Night Belongs to Us: And Other Stories

Average rating5

A collection of short stories that uses the supernatural to tell timeless tales of (mostly) mother-daughter relationships and how they often leave the deepest scars regardless of what horrors the world does to us and of intentions. It can be confronting at times but it's never dull.

The tone and style or the stories feel familiar, like revisiting classics but it also never comes across as tired or cliché. There's at least one story that I would place squarely in the sci-fi horror genre but there's also quite a few references to WWII (the story taking place on the Hindenburg was my personal favourite) so you really get to visit different settings in short bursts.

Feeling a bit ACAB today? There's a story for that too (maybe more than one depending how you read them)!

I received a digital review copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
