As with most collections of stories, there were some that I loved, some that I didn't and some somewhere in between. This curated collection of stories gathers a varying array of stories, each as horror filled and gory as the last. Usually I am not a massive fan of books that I deem to gory, but this book was definitely contained some of the better horror stories I have read (and unfortunately also some of the worst). The stories I did enjoy contained rich, interesting writing that flowed from the page, however I found some of the stories to be lacking in some things, and some of them felt rushed, as though they would be better if they were fleshed out into a longer story or even a book. Overall, this book is worth reading for fans of history and horror, but not exactly my cup of tea.

What an interesting read! We (the readers) are put in the shoes of guests visiting mysterious museum of various different objects. Our docent shows us each piece (those being the pictures for the artifacts in question) and introduces us to them. He's slightly peculiar but we listen to him carefully before the artifact pulls us into its story. The stories were good. Some of them were a bit confusing as to what was happening and why but i didn't have that problem with most of them. I like how each tale has a dark element to it and never fails to deliver the horror and the evil.

I enjoy reading a good short story collection, so I was really intrigued by this. Glad to say that it lived up to my expectations. Most of the time with anthologies it's really hard to keep the atmosphere and quality throughout the whole book, especially if it has multiple authors. But I hardly see that problem here, so I was both surprised and glad. A generous 5 star.
