"This collection, which includes the masterpiece “The Dead,” is sweeping as well as specific about all the lives within it. Favorites include the much-read “Araby," and also the perfect, subtle, devastating short-short, “Clay.”"

"I read one of Borges’ short stories in a science-fiction magazine when I was 20, and I immediately fell in love with his style and his universe. Later on, I discovered that the short story, ‘The Babel Library,’ was part of this collection of short stories. Borges is the only South American writer all of whose books I have read and reread."

Could have been so much better
When I first saw the original short film it scared the crap out of me, the whole idea of what is in the dark that we just can't see is such a base fear for most people and the short film played on it so well.

Just like the short film Lights Out played on this fear so well but due to an uninteresting plot and frankly unmemorable characters, they really lost what made the short film so good.

I agree with you 100 percent. This movie had the most amazing marketing campaign that any film could ask for, a scary as fuck short film that seriously messed with your head.
But when brought to full length feature it didn't really deliver. It dropped the proverbial ball so to speak and left me wondering what I just spent 90 minutes watching.
Normally I am a huge Theresa Palmer fan too. She was awesome in Warm Bodies. But for as good as she usually is, she looked kind of lost in this role.
This movie could've been so amazing had it stayed independent in my opinion.

I feel like they suffered from what a lot of horror movies do now a days they simply try to add too much plot and engage emotions that frankly don't really need to be engaged when watching a horror movies, some times the simple route of a boogieman killing people is all we need I don't need some angst ridden backstory. Plain and simple scare the shit out of me and we're good.

"This magnificently strange, moving and hysterical debut collection of short stories was, full disclosure, written by my WIFE! But I wouldn’t recommend so highly if I didn’t think it one of the very best short story collections."
