The Tired Buyer
The Tired Buyer rated it 7 years ago
I received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. A great book with many little stories from different authors. A few stories I was drawn to more than others while some I just did not care for. A few I hope will become actual novels like The Beast, The Vampire's Heart, The Rippe...
