The Horrors Hiding in Plain Sight by Rebecca Rowland
4.0
The Horrors Hiding in Plain Sight is a collection of short stories, each one featuring a human monster. People suck sometimes. Let's face it. But some people are dark, depraved animals preying on the innocent. The normal, everyday people who just happen to suck sometimes. Each story in this collection will introduce you to one of those horrific monsters pretending to be human. From teenage bullies to abusive fathers, and everyone in between, there's at least one story here that will resonate with readers.
Some of my favorite stories from the collection include:
It Comes Around - a story about karma
Open House - a strange story set during Halloween
The Munchies - a story about pregnancy...and cravings
Just a Taste - a true "bedtime story" with a twist
Deja Vu - a story about Russian Roulette
I actually found Deja Vu to be the saddest story in the book, strangely enough. It's a bit horrific, but also kind of depressing. And even though Just a Taste is super messed up, I think it's my favorite of the bunch. I knew that twist was coming, but still. Ugh. So good.
Fans of short horror stories, especially ones grounded in reality rather than featuring fictional monsters, will enjoy The Horrors Hiding in Plain Sight.
4 stars!
