The Beast You Are by Paul Tremblay

"The Beast You Are" (yes Tremblay is a Big Business fan), contains a number of previously published short stories (mostly in lesser available publications) and one original novella, bearing the same title as the title of the main work. The novella is indeed the main drawcard and is written as a kind of "Watership Down" homage but written in Tremblay's unique eerie lamenting style. The short stories are extremely diverse and very unique and all tick the horror genre box perfectly. A must read for horror fans. 4/5
