Happy Pub day to Darcy Coates | HrrorGrl

This anthology is made up of various short stories but one is a rerelease of her Novella, Ghost Camera. So many begged for this book to be back on shelves when it went out of print. So she tweaked and edited the story and re released it with a couple other short stories of hers.

This book hit my kindle early this morning since I Pre Ordered it a couple months ago. I’ve been reading it with my morning coffee and sitting in the car during my husbands appointments.

And no I won’t gatekeep. This book IS really good so far.
