After reading and loving Wicked Blood recently I was looking forward to getting stuck into Fake Somebodies, Real Nobodies.

E.C. Hanson’s latest is a collection of 12 interesting short horror stories featuring everything from witches and werewolves to vengeful seagulls and a collection of different father’s trying to protect their children...in their own unique ways. Oh and of course there’s a clown at some point...there’s always a clown! (The latest version of IT helped with my fear of clowns, but it’s always still there haha)

I very much enjoyed Fake Somebodies, Real Nobodies, it just had a bit of everything. I loved the simplicity of some, such at the opening story ‘Salem Village’ and some were just fun ‘Salem Sightseers’ whilst others like ‘AK-47@11’ & ‘Gulls’ were just crazy!

Fake Somebodies, Real Nobodies is a great quick read and another excellent offering from E.C. Hanson.
