Mad Hallelujah and other oddities by Owen Morgan
5.0
I'm astounded by just how much I liked this collection. Short stories and I typically don't get on as a rule: my attention span struggles to remain invested in a book that has no narrative flow to it. This was a welcome break between longer novels and I found myself absolutely LOVING every story except two or three. Out of fourteen that's insane!
Mad Hallelujahs has it all: short bite sized poems, tongue in cheek humour, the eeriness of abject terror and the spine curdling grisle of body horror. In such a short time I had such a whirlwind of emotions thrust onto me. Suspense, mirth, and that rapt intensity only a good horror tale can deliver; absolutely my favourite short story collection I've read.
