I bought this book, honestly, because my cousin is the author, and I was curious to see what it was all about. I like horror fiction as a rule so I expected to like this book. Adam is an exceptional writer...his stories were very well done...but I felt that each short story was left unfinished, because I didn't understand the analogy in the story, and they were a bit weird. I'm passing this book on to my son because I think he'll enjoy it...he likes this sort of thing...but unfortunately I would not recommend this book to anyone else.
