Tell Me Pleasant Things about Immortality: Stories by Lindsay Wong

5 reviews

sarah984's review against another edition

dark funny

3.0

A darkly funny horror collection, the stories mostly feature Chinese immigrants in North America (though there are a couple of stories about men and/or set in China). I loved the concept of most of the stories but a few of them felt like they didn't really go anywhere and by the end of the collection the tone felt a little repetitive.

Favourites: Tell Me Pleasant Things About Immortality, Furniture, Sinking Houses

obviousthings's review against another edition

It's really gory and gross, with a flippant tone. Not my thing.

It's booked as a darkly funny horror, but I didn't find it very funny, and the stories were often more cruel or gross than they are scary
