Thank you, NetGalley for providing me with this arc in exchange for an honest review.

This collection works. It's not particularly easy to find a short story collection that grabs your attention with every single one of its tales. Midwestern Gothic did it for me. And if you're familiar with Kill Creek (I was only aware of the plot), you'll find cool easter eggs in here too.

There is a feeling of dread shared by all four stories. I didn't find them to be scary, but they are intriguing and certainly deal with creepy and uneasy topics. I decided to ask for this arc after a friend told me about it and i'm very glad I did.

My favorite one was One Half of a Child’s Face, it really did end the book with a bang. I would recommend Midwestern Gothic to horror fans and non horror fans.
