“Loved this one! Finished on my birthday! I’m a huge true crime, thriller, police procedural and horror girl so this was right up my alley. All the stories were unique and tied to crime, whether it be criminals, police or private detectives, and I enjoyed them all. My favorite was Deathbed by M. Halstead, the last story. Dystopian but also seemed like a direction we are currently headed, this is from the point of view of a sentient prison cell. The prison cell feeds on the emotions of the prisoners so we get to hear the stories of each prisoner. As we hear their stories,the crimes get increasingly uncomfortable, culminating in a huge miscarriage of justice. So good!”
