A review by tabatha_shipley
Spin a Black Yarn by Josh Malerman
4.0
What I Did Like:
+The very first short story in this collection sets the tone well. It’s dark and scary. It leaves some things unanswered, as short stories often do, but it’s intriguing and works!
+All tied together by being set in the fictional town of Samhattan. Side Note: Malerman mentions Samhattan and the development of these stories in the author’s note at the end of the book. Take the time to read that because it’s fascinating. Also, I wholeheartedly agree about the hotel angle for a show. Great idea!
+The stories are a great blend of horror. Some almost jump scare, some sort of slow and languid, some that are absolutely disgusting in their inability to stop at a boundary line. As far as horror goes, there’s a little something in this collection for every horror fan!
Who Should Read This One:
-Horror fans. This is a great collection with a little something for all of us fans of the scary and macabre.
My Rating: 4 Stars
