The Wishing Pool and Other Stories by Tananarive Due
5.0
Do you remember being a child, and your dad or grandpop would tell you ghost stories to scare the crap out of you? Well, that's exactly how these short stories felt for me! Since both my Dad and Grandpop passed, these stories brought me a familiar comfort and fright. Apt to reading at bedtime, Ms. Due gives us a blend of supernatural, earthly and horror genres, perfectly intertwined.
I enjoyed Suppertime and The Rumpus Room, small town ghosts with BIG impacts on race, family, imagination and fear.
Last Stop on Route 9, Haint in the Window, and Ghost Ship were especially my faves. Giving frights, thrills and hope. Peaking your flight or fight; heart pounding.
My first read of Ms. Due's literary works and it definitely won't be my last. A page turner for all!
Both skillful and descriptive, providing vivid scenes for one to ponder. Definitely a MUST read if you love all things frightening.
