About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a Stephen King-style anthology that mixes suspense with campy, macabre humor, closer to Trilogy of Terror than outright horror; Not for you if you want consistent scares or a tightly connected story.
Pros: inventive anthology setup; tense middle segment; darkly funny tone | Cons: uneven story quality; cat link feels thin; not very scary
