This is a new release this month, and the second short story collection I’ve read by the author. See my review of Scribbles and Scrawls for more!
This is a set of 25 short stories. Some are a few hundred words, while others are a few thousand. The important thing here with each, is that they’re all good! A year or two ago I wasn’t really a fan of short stories, my complaint over and over was usually that they were too short to have enough oomph. With the author’s first collection I read, I realized that short stories CAN be enjoyable, that they don’t have to have cohesive beginnings or ends. That they can be good while having a cliffhanger ending. So when I saw this one coming out, I preorder immediately.
Some are silly, some are horror, some are contemporary drama or family based. Each one is unique while still giving you the feeling that they belong. I would suggest this to anyone looking for quick reads. I really enjoyed it.
Personally a 5/5*.
