Kitchen Sink by Spencer Hamilton āļøāļøāļøš« (3.5)
ā¢
Short story collections are one of my favorite things to read, and the most difficult for me to review, but Iāll try my best. The stories included here vary in length, subject, and in the emotions they evoke. In other words, thereās a little something for everyone here.
ā¢
I didnāt love every story here, but thatās not what I look for in a collection like this. If I enjoy more than half, then I consider it a good book Iād recommend and Iād definitely recommend this one. Some stories made me chuckle, others made me sad, and a few made my skin crawl in the best possible way. Almost every one made me think and thatās what I enjoy most of all.
ā¢
There were times I felt like the writer was trying to find his way, not surprising since these stories were written over a span of 13 years with the earliest at age 17. While I donāt know the order the material was written in, I could see growth and improvement in some stories that I would guess were written more recently, and I liked some aspects of both.
ā¢
Some of the stories that I enjoyed the most were Hive, The Diary, The Wormhole in Edwinās Cubicle, Happy Hour, Joe Builds a Sunset, Houdiniās Last Halloween, and The Dreams of Alexis Wild.
ā¢
Spencerās debut horror novel, The Fear, comes out on 8/11/20 and after reading this, I canāt wait to add it to my shelves!
