Cousin Calls by Zeb Haradon
4.0
I'm not a huge fan of anthologies for the most part. I always find the stories too short and a bit rushed. But as with most things in life there's always the exception to that rule.
This book was one of those exceptions, first the stories felt interconnected by even the small detail of a Cousin's Call..
Secondly the narrative was so playfully creepy that I was flipping the pages one after the other and let me tell you I was surprised as heck to be reading the story of a deer (an actual deer) and enjoying the heck out of it.
The stories are bittersweet and humane, but also perversely creepy.. I might not be making a whole lot of sense but this was an experience..
What I'm not a huge fan of it's the art style on the cover but I must admit that it goes well with the atmosphere of the book.
