MY REVIEW:
I thoroughly enjoyed this collection. There is a wide variety of stories here, and all of them are fun and creepy reads.
This collection includes the stories:
“The Colony”
“Good Morning, Beautiful”
“In Between the Dry-Heaves”
“Swells”
“The Proposition”
“Coke”
“Incomprehensible”
“Mile High Club”
“It Hurts So Fucking Good”
“The Devil’s in the Details”
“Sheldon’s Complex”
“Wheels On The Bus Go Round”
“Why Am I Still Jealous?”
“Tunnel Junkies”
“Tunnel Junkies - Part Two”
“Evil Within The Institution”
“Vela Has A Gift For The World”
“Sky Turns Red”
“Tundra”
“Show Me What You Really Are”
“Danny the Daredevil”
“All At Someone Else’s Expense”
“Danger: Strong Undertow”
“Let The Evil In”
“Fear The Automated Workforce”
McGregor does suspense well, and their writing is concise and a pleasure to read. My favorite tales were “Tunnel Junkies”, “Danny the Daredevil”, and “Danger: Strong Undertow”.
“Tunnel Junkies”, in particular, stuck with me. It’s a well-done mash-up of sci-fi and horror. Even though the story wraps up well, I found myself wanting to know more.
As an avid NoSleep fan, I wasn’t a stranger to McGregor’s work. I was excited to discover they’d compiled a collection of their own outside of an anthology. I hope to read more of McGregor’s work in the future.

This is Mister McGregor's first collection on his own, and I am happy to be reviewing it. I previously read a story by him in the collection Love, Death, and Other Inconveniences and knew I'd be interested in more. Devil's in the Details contains a solid twenty-five tales and clocks in at about three hundred-fifty pages, which is pretty significant for a new author. I realize Mister McGregor was known beforehand for his work on Reddit's NoSleep forum, but for me this was all new. Obviously, not every story was a home-run; some had very abrupt endings or went on a tad too long for their own good. Others were rehashing of popular modern day urban legends. A majority, however, were original, fun, and creepy. I'd suggest giving Mister McGregor a try if you're a fan of anything else Tobias Wade and Haunted House Publishing has put out. It's a fun read with plenty of twisty little tales and a price tag that won't break any budgets.

Don't let the title mislead you; this is NOT a collection of satanic themed stories (to my relief). Best categorized as a mix of sci-fi and suspense stories, a few of which have a Lovecraftian flavor.
As with any collection of short stories, there are hits and misses but this is overall a nice group of tales.

The book lived up to it's title
This was a great anthology that got my attention from the first story. I was happy with the collection apart from two or three stories that I read before in other anthologies. A must read for thriller and horror fans.

Great book
Love short stories. This was a great one to read. Cannot wait to read more of J.D. McGregor's books. Hit all kinds of angles you wouldn't even imagine.

For some reason this is another of my reads/reviews which seems to have "poof!" off Goodreads. ...... aaaand this is me fixing it!

This is a odd one - it was recommended to me by friends in the horror community, and I might have had too high expectations to it or something, but truth is that I was bored to tears. I feel like I should mention that there are two stories which are actually alright, one is actually good (the story that named the book). Bottom line is that I really wanted to like this, and I just didn't. I have to check out some more stuff from this author to make up my mind, I mean it could be that it just didn't really live up to the hype. But none the less then i'd not recommend it.
