Unloannable kindle document. I got this pre-sale book through netgalley.com.

I like horror and I am not scared of reading strong materials. All the opposite, I appreciate authors who dare to go there. I also liked that there is a common atmosphere to all these short stories, and that there is even a character who gets repeated in two of them. The order of the short stories is very important, so I would recommend every potential reader to stick to the order on which the short stories have been published.

The best short story is the first one, The Door, which is also the longest. I was ruling for the main character, and I am ruling now even more because in other short stories I understood everything that he has been through throughout his tough life. I don't want to spoil it here, but I empathised with him, as an artist with no too much success. The aspect of being mentally and psychologically frail has been treated amazingly well by the author.

I liked the cover of this short story collection a lot. The mystery of the door and what may lurk behind it appealed to me and encouraged me to give it a try.

I liked the description of the painting process and of the paintings themselves. That created a feeling in me of a writer who writes well and that takes care of his craft.

I would recommend it, but I would also advice potential readers about the violent and sexual content. If you don't mind that, give this book a try. It is good.

I read this book through the website NetGalley´s program.
