A review of a collection of short stories


This collection of short stories is not an optimistic read in which good conquers evil: (0)_ A instead_ it
explores the idea that horror and evil live inside us all.
The first story concerns the psychological (1) C consequences that occur after a man persuades his own
son to help him murder his wife. The reader is left to (2) C make up his own mind about whether the
supernatural is involved, though I suspect in this (3) D case it isn´t.
The second story is based on the (4) D theme of revenge. It follows the victim of a crime, and the cold-
blooded way in which she (5) B deals with the situation. Although she is cruel, we feel genuine (6) D
consideration for her problems.
