Summary:
This is a collection of short stories with some being quite short and others a longer length. The topics vary and keep the reader interested. Some stories are violent and bloody while other stories are surprising and funny. There are many twists and turns to keep the reader guessing at what the end of the story will bring.

Pros:
These stories are written well, with varied language and interesting descriptions. The characters are believable and relatable without being a cliche.

Beech uses great descriptions for various characters, saying one man is a “sack of walnuts” while describing unnoticed insults sliding of the recipient “like he’d rolled in Teflon.”

Cons:
Many of the stories had characters with the same names (Pete for one). At first I thought the stories were continuing from an earlier story with the same character, but as I read, it became clear they were different characters and different stories.

The book overall could have used another few rounds of editing as there were several typos. This, for me, seriously detracts from my ability to concentrate on the story. Typos do not bother some readers, and I wish I was one of them!

Reader Warnings:
Foul language, violence, gore, and sexual content.

Conclusion:
Overall, this was a great read. I enjoyed the stories and found I was finished reading the entire collection before I knew what was happening. I would definitely recommend this book to others.
