Another great horror short collection with a lot of variety...
Variety not only just in the tales themselves but with the writing, some are quite slow and somber and others zip along fast with lots of action and everything in between. The theme that we can all be monsters allowed for a lot of different stories, sidestepping the usual issue of repetitiveness.
From someone called forth from a swampy grave to get their revenge, people feeding something in a mine, Vampire hunters playing both sides, corrupt preachers to ... were sasquatches, the stories all explore people and their dark sides. Most of the characters here set aside their morals to deal with the things that happen or were already bad, to begin with.
The Cornucopia was my favorite, a preacher whose life was ruined by a fire set to his church now lives on the streets with the poor he once ignored. Eventually, he is given an item that creates a feast every day for the starving people around him, his new flock. He is told to never open it or terrible things will happen... It's such a great and dark story, the preacher and his inner dialogue was fun to read.
With each story being different than the last but yet still retaining the theme, great writing, and lots of wickedness and horror on display this one is worth checking out.
