Half-Minute Horrors
by Various, Susan Rich
Once upon a time when I was just browsing idly, I stumbled upon the world’s shortest horror story by Fredric Brown:
"The last man on Earth sat alone in a room. There was a knock on the door”
And since then, I’m obsessed with bite-size horror stories. It’s amazing how you can express so much with so few words and trigger imagination. And this book is full of these hair-rising mini horror stories which gave me exactly what I was looking for. I enjoyed most of the stories, some of them felt a bit short but still I really liked the idea behind this collection. You’ll find some of the most famous and talented authors here including Margaret Atwood, Neil Gaiman and Michael Connelly. I do not know if I’m the one crazy one here but I kept the time while reading them and not one of them lasted more than 30 seconds as the end cover suggests : How scared can you get in only 30 seconds? . A satisfyingly creepy one-breath read for the halloween. Definitely recommended.
