Very few Hits & Lotsa misfires.

If not for a couple of gems, I'd have rated this anthology a lot lower than what I have.
The few stories that worked were not only chilling or intriguing, but honestly displayed coming from a legit edgier, racial perspective.
But the remaining stories came off way too safe & rote in both their stories & cultural significance.
Murder shouldn't be so damn bland!
And most of the voice narrations didnt help either, making it all sound more tepid than chilling.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
