Well first off I learned a new word.
Enantiodromia-the tendency of things to change into their opposites, especially as a supposed governing principle of natural cycles and of psychological development.
"the remorseless enantiodromia between good luck and bad"
Then, I was treated to a quick and creepy journey through 5 dark tales of loss, regret, despair, and revenge. First up is a trip into the past where a restless spirit can find no peace until his remains are are found. The longer it takes the more dangerous he becomes. Next one marriage dissolves in a violent way, followed by another marriage that continues beyond the grave. My absolute favorite story was Tuesdays with Moran’d’arth in which an aging horror writer finds the price of his fame and fortune to be harder to deal with and tougher to pay... Last but not least a slave discovers a mystical portal that may hold the key to freedom. This was a most satisfying collection of grim and gruesome tales.
5 out of 5 stars.
