This is the kind of book that I like to read in between books. For example, I finish a book then read a couple dozen of these. 99 word horrors are just that. Little tidbits of scary stuff that's only 99 words long. I enjoyed reading this and I highly recommend it when you need to clear your head after a full length book

I enjoyed the one page horror stories. I see these as the last moments of a persons life. Some had a supernatural twist. Loved them!

99 Flash Fictions,
Flash fiction is a genre hard to accomplish well. 99 words are almost impossibly short to tell a full story. I didn't go into this collection expecting fleshed out characters and we'll developed story lines, but I also didn't expect most of the micro bursts of fiction to feel like the same story. All told in first person, most told post mortem, when you started word 1 you pretty much already knew where word 99 was going to end up.

Meh.
I read a lot of horrors but this book was just boring and did give me the chills I expected. I am not happy with it although the stories were okay. The concept and writing skills were also nice but I am not very happy with this book. To be honest I think I wasted my time on it.

Short very short
Great little one paragraph horror stories. I actually enjoyed this more than I expected to. Great when you only have a short time to read.
