I had high hopes for this author, so I picked up this book of her short stories and WOW they’re too weird for me. I liked the first one, but every one after that was…too odd, or I just didn’t get it. Maybe a novel would be different.

I can’t tell you if I liked this book because I don’t know. There’s a really nice, very real family, maybe an apocalypse, definitely a home invasion, something TRULY AWFUL happens, and then…so, it was good? I mean, it was GOOD, but I don’t know if I liked it.

Books don’t scare me like movies do, but even so, I take precautions and only read horror stories during the day. Luckily (sadly?), this one didn’t scare me at all. I’m not going anywhere near any of the movie or TV adaptations, though.

This is a horror story set in a store that is identical to Ikea, but isn’t Ikea. The premise is kind of funny, but the novelty wears off quickly. And then the story got actually scary (or scary enough), so I stopped reading it at night, and then I found I didn’t care enough to pick it back up during the day. No ringing endorsement here.

SO strange. The characters all belong to a support group for survivors of events that only happen in horror stories. They don’t like or trust each other, they don’t share their stories easily (or equally), and why were they brought together in the first place?

Creepy novella written by the author of the hippo cowboy stories. Really good. Not related to hippo cowboys in any way.
