FULL DISCLAIMER: I AM AN AUTHOR WITH WORK IN THIS BOOK BUT TRIED MY BEST TO REVIEW IT HONESTLY
100 word drabbles are fairly new to me. I think this is third book of drabbles I had read. At first I thought the idea was silly, and that you can't tell a story in 100 words. But I was wrong. I love that this one is Horror Christmas themed. There are so many drabbles, all different types. Some creeped me out, some made me laugh, some made me cringe. If I were to review the drabbles individually, there were some 3, 4 and 5 stars. So I'm averaging this out with 4 stars. It's pretty cool. And the best part is that if you don't like one, go to the next. I mean, they're only 100 words. I didn't dislike any of them, I just liked some more than others.Even though I didn't want to be in the Christmas mood yet, this book made it feel like the holidays for me.

OK

There were a few good drabbles but most were just ok. Some seriously needed better editing. Enjoyable but not necessarily memorable.
