I read a story each night for Summerween and C.J. Tudor didn't disappoint! Most stories were 4 stars, a couple were 3 and one or two were 5 stars. A fun collection with a short introduction with a little background from the author for each.
Highly recommend to break a slump, as a companion while reading a tome or brick, or for anyone looking for a creepy short story collection.

I really enjoyed this short story collection. I’m not a big fan of short stories typically, but these were really well done. I can see how CJ Tudor was inspired by King, but I think she can end stories better.
The block in particular is one of my favourite short stories I’ve ever read. It utilized the terror that works very effectively for me.
