I’ve been dealing with a bad mood and migraine for about 24 hours so I just decided to read these short stories before getting back into anything longer. All in all, just a 3 for the entire anthology. This anthology is dark Halloween romance.

See what had happened was I woke up with a migraine. A real doozy of a skull-splitter. And there I was, in bed with medicines and comfort objects and drawn curtains and agony. Days like this I can’t watch tv, can’t do much of anything besides lie still and quiet and wait for sleep or sweet release of death.
