Fuck Them Kids

4.38 AVERAGE

dark emotional sad tense medium-paced

I gave each of the 10 stories in this collection 5 stars. I wish I could give more than 5. I loved them so much so I'm going to give a few words for each story.
1. Bury Your Demons: Oh Lord! Poor Keith! I read this a couple months ago and it still haunts me 
2. In the House of the Devil: Exorcisms are the worst! I was really rooting for Keilan.  Also, the end! Are you kidding me??? It is 100% not over. Where did he go??? 
3. The Empty Crib: Hubby definitely got what he deserved. It was heartbreaking until the very last sentence. Now my skin is crawling. 
4. Blue Eyes: Oh. My. God! Man, these last sentences really get me. But is Anna ok???? I don't think I will ever be able to watch Frozen again without thinking of this story.
5. The Dahlonega Reaper: "It's hard to breathe without lungs." What???? Always listen to the backwoods gas station attendant. The black bile vomit scene almost took me out...just gross.
6. The Man in the Window: My skin is crawling.  Jordan and Jarvis have a cute and loving relationship which makes the ending that much worse (in a good way)
7. The Valley of Missing Children: Always. Listen. To. The. Gas. Station. Attendant.  That is all. This one is my favorite I think. It's a toss up between this and Bury Your Demons.
8. Grotto: The witch is just taking out the trash.
9. The Children Garden: Well, that was terrifying. 
10. The Town: These kids are psycho. 

Timothy King delivers again!! I was lucky enough to get an ARC copy of this book and could not wait to jump in after reading his debut book, Seven Rabbits. Fuck Them Kids is a compilation of short horror stories all having to do with creepy kids and they are all excellent! Each story in this book sucks the reader in from the very beginning and keeps you turning the page. A few of the stories kept me awake way too long at night. If you love horror, the creepier the better, go get this book!!

First off, the title is absolutely EVERYTHING!!!!! Ummm, these are some scary, crazy ass kids man! You can’t go wrong reading any of the stories that are in this collection. They are creepy, emotional, dark, bloody, and a beautiful hot ass mess! You may want to check your triggers if you have any because the topics in some of these are heavy! I absolutely loved this collection of crazy kids, I think I want more of these wild stories, haha! 

These stories were all great! After reading these, I understand why some people choose not to have kids. Some of these kids were plain EVIL. Had I read these years ago, I might not have had 8 of them! Creepy kids make some great stories.
