I loved this so much,Litsy! 36 six tales of terror written by the same 4 authors pertaining to certain subjects like Cake, Love, Luck, Flowers, Song. Sounds like a charm bracelet right? But no, these are scary, disturbing, well written. I was surprised by how many of them had strong voice, or to encounter a paragraph describing the nature of something and nodding along to it. There was the one about the whalers finding the live boy in the 👇🏼

Reggie the belly of a whale. The one told from the pov of a dog named Rabbit who is worried about the child eating garden of flowers next door. The one that terrified me the most was the one about the girl with her evil, bff ventriloquist doll. All were great. 3w

On my way to Albuquerque, I was listening to Books in the Freezer podcast where one of the guests was saying that her cozy horror pick for her chilling obsession was reading this book. That the first story was about a village who on the 2nd Tuesday of every February spends its day baking cakes for this swarm of fairies that come and eat them. Well this year the supply truck doesn‘t come and the fairy swarm comes and kills, KILLS, all the 👇🏼

Reggie parents. The children are left alone because fairies don‘t kill children,uh duh. Chilling. Found it at the library in the children‘s section. I‘m about 5 stories in and they‘re all wonderfully creepy. (edited) 1mo

ImperfectCJ I just added this one to my e-reader for my upcoming trip based on this post! 1mo

CoverToCoverGirl Cozy horror?? Terrifying.. 🤓 1mo

vivastory Haven't read this one, but the title reminds me how happy I am that we are getting a second season of the del toro show this year!....

I went to go post the above, but I double checked it first for a release date & apparently I must have dreamt this 😭 1mo

Reggie @TheBookHippie @AmyG @CoverToCoverGirl it was kinda funny because after this guest told the podcast about it the other guest said, all I got from that was that I need to eat cake. And funny enough the first section of the book is called Cake. The second story was pretty good, also. It‘s called The Cake Made of Teeth. 1mo

Reggie @ImperfectCJ I hope you like it! It also goes well with a margarita. lol 1mo

Reggie @vivastory it‘s definitely middle school but I‘m really liking it. The Mandela effect has struck again!!!!! I remember liking the alien episode of that. 1mo

vivastory That was one of my favorites, too. The director of that episode made an excellent movie a few yrs ago: The Empty Man. Have you seen it? 4w

Centique OMG the murderous fairies! Sometimes kids books can be pretty freakin chilling 😱😱 3w

Centique That looks like a great meal by the way! And you are on your way to Alberqueque? To me (from the upside down side of the world) that sounds like a song and might require you to be with a bunch of found friends on horseback and on the way to rescuing someone. 3w

Reggie @Centique There was a story that I read at lunch. And I was so disturbed I just stopped eating and went back to work. There‘s been some doozies in here. Also, the salsa with those chips, it had me full body sweating before I even started eating the enchiladas. lol it was freakin‘ hot! 🥵 3w

Reggie @vivastory I haven‘t but I‘m about to tonight. Also, that cocktail bar on your post looks so cozy. Cheers from past Reggie with his margarita on Friday night to past you. 3w

Centique @Reggie that must have been so disturbing! I can just picture you doing that 😬 3w

Are short stories a #genre? Not sure the technical answer to that question, but I‘m trying to read more of them these days. I have some great collections and they seem like the perfect thing to read when I have a few minutes in between chasing my toddler 🤣 #30daysofreadathon

smilingshelves That cover is gorgeous! 8y

BucklingBookshelves @smilingshelves I love it too! It definitely caught my eye at the bookstore (and the fact that it was a chunky paperback with a $6.99 cover price) 📚 8y

All the books that have recently ended up on my desk, piled into a stack. I used the bottom two to demonstrate second person POV for a class. The top two are my daughter's. The middle three I'm reading now, or intend to read soon. Time to clean up!

MrBook Nice stack! 9y

HeidiSchulz @MrBook Thanks! 9y
