it was amazing

This was one of those collections that I felt compelled to continue reading at any cost.
Disturbing
Engrossing
So well written
Stories from the border of Hell is an apt subtitle

10/10

I'll leave you with this little morsel

Walking the perimeter of the building were three dark-robed figures, their heads encased in black iron boxes. They exuded a monastic patience, moving slowly and with obvious precision. The lead figure held an open book in his left hand, scrawling something into it with his right. The one in the middle swung a censer, a black orb from which spilled a heavy yellow smoke. The scent of marigolds carried over to him. The figure in the back held aloft a severed head on a pole, which emitted a beam of light from its wrenched mouth.
