Murder Mayhem Short Stories Reviews

4.0
“I very much enjoyed this collection of stories which were a blend of old and new. I enjoyed far more of them then I disliked and they were were perfect for quick reading before bed. I'm not much for short stories but I'm going to have to change my tune for these Gothic Fantasy collections. I would recommend picking up one of these if you have the chance ( there's so many variations like horror, ghost stories, crime, etc.) and their covers are beautiful.”
