Mirror Mirror by Anthony M. Strong
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Quite satisfying little quick read.
I actually liked it so much that i bought another book by the same author. Now to be fair I got this book (mirror mirror) for free, so i thought it was only fair to get another of his books because I liked his style.
Small Horrors: A Collection of Fifty Creepy Stories by Darcy Coates
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
It is absolutely one of the better collections of horror short stories (sometimes flash fiction, cause it’s so short) by one author that I have read. It’s absolutely worth the asking price.
The Creepypasta Collection, Volume 2: 20 Stories. No Sleep. by Mrcreepypasta
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I want to say something nice, but honestly I liked the first one better. It is a decent collection of creepypastas though, some old some brand new.
The Black Farm by Elias Witherow
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
To be honest my first thought was ‘omg it’s a rewrite of feed the pig’ which admittedly was one of my favorite short stories from ‘the worst kind of monsters’, but I was a little annoyed that I had been so psyched to see something new from the author, and then it was just an old story in new clothes. But I was wrong, or well at least to some extend, because even if it is actually a rewrite of feed the pig, it is more like a reimagining, and black farm is so much more than the original short story to a point where it’s not really fair to compare the two.
Even if you read feed the pig, this story brings more to the table, read it! you won’t be sorry.
Silent Child by Sarah A. Denzil
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I honestly didn’t think much of this, and quite honestly I bought it on a whim to use a gift card – but how wrong I was! It was actually really, really good! It managed to catch me from the beginning to the end, and it was really hard to put down because I wanted to know what was gonna happen next! It is absolutely recommended, and I think I will keep an eye out for the author’s releases in the future.
This is not a horror book, more like a whodunnit story, but it is absolutely creepy and unsettling.
Before You Sleep: Three Horrors by Adam Nevill
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
I actually liked the two first stories, they seem to cut off in a weird manner, not sure if the author just don’t know how to finish them or whatever the reason could be, then I would love to read an actual genuinely worked through version of the first story. The last story was just super uninspired and a tired trope, but I would recommend it anyways in case you like me are on vacation and need something super light to read.
I mean it tho, that first story could have been REALLY good dammit!!
Six Scary Stories by Stephen King
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
It was actually okay, not spectacular, and not bad. I was entertained for most of it.
