Review -

Three stories with a very different vibe to each.

Part 1

A young mother home alone in a storm sees a stranger outside her house. For me, this was the weakest of the three. There were some minor discrepancies in the story, and I saw the twist ending coming.

3 out of 5

Part 2

This was easily my favorite, as I loved the story idea of witches and the family cult out to mow them all down. Very violent at times and a ton of fun.

5 out of 5

Part 3

Another very good story about a woman just released from jail who goes home to fins that things are not what she expected with her family. An exciting supernatural tale with a heavy demonic presence.

Overall, a solid collection that you can picks up HERE.
