I had no real expectations for this going in. I saw it mentioned in a review for something else I was considering reading and decided on a whim to read this instead. Honestly, it was great. And consistently great at that. There‘s not a single story I didn‘t like.

This story collection is one I had early from the #graywolfgalleyclub but saved for #spooktober - most are set in the PNW, Oregon or Alaska, familiar settings for me, making the horrors even scarier. One story had a pandemic! Some are gory while some are closer to the weird. All unsettling!

bailed

This was a collection of short stories. I don't have anything good to say about this one. I found these stories to be dark but not in a good way. The characters were all cringey and horrible and I had to bail about 2 stories short of finishing.

Lucky for me it's cool for kids my daughter's age to meet up at the library and play games together. I found this one to read while she visited with friends
The cover drew me in with promises of creepiness but so far I'm finding the stories to be more gross and depressing than anything. š¤·š¸¼ā€¨ā™€ļø¸

As promised, my #bookhaul from Powell‘s! The bottom 2 are signed copies. š¨

Reading resolution: reduce owned, unread books by 125
Owned books read so far: 5
Books purchased so far: 7

So I‘m now at -2. And I‘ll be shopping at my former local indie before leaving Oregon. And I haven‘t counted the 3 books in my BOTM box, as it has yet to arrive.

Oops š¬

LeahBergen Well, that‘s not bad. I thought it would be worse. š‚ I think I bought 13 books the last time I was there. š‚š‚ 5y

Hooked_on_books @LeahBergen Yes, I tried to be very restrained. It‘s hard there! They really should provide chaperones, but they laugh at me when I tell them that. I‘m actually pretty proud of myself, even though I dug the hole a bit deeper on my resolution. 5y

vivastory That's not too bad! I'm really looking forward to Girl, Woman, etc. I also really do want to finally read

Ice Trilogy

Suet624 I totally can relate. Be kind to yourself and enjoy the adventure of reading. I love your stack of books. 5y

Hooked_on_books @vivastory I‘m pretty sure that one‘s your fault! š† Maybe an icy buddy read later in the year? 5y

vivastory Sounds good to me! 5y

monalyisha Oh, Erosion looks so good! 5y

Suspense, for sure, but I wish more details would be explained. He could have developed characters and angles instead of merely mentioning them.

This is my favourite short story collection I‘ve read this year. Suicide Woods and The Uncharted were VERY good. My main issue with some of the earlier stories in the collection is they felt too short.

Even though I generally don‘t enjoy them I‘m still trying a few more short story collections for the end of the year. Hope there are some good spookers in here.
