The Dead Spot: Stories of Lost Girls by Angela Sylvaine
5.0
Thank you to the author for giving me a copy of this collection. The review is my own honest opinion.
Uhm wow! If you want a collection of short stories that drop kicks you in the feels, written in beautiful prose, then this is the collection for you! All seventeen of these stories will suck you straight into the moment and fill you with dread, make you paranoid, make you want to cry out for the women and girls stuck in these situations, and then make you feel numb by the end.
None of these stories really have happy endings, so don't go into this expecting them. What they do have though, is satisfying ones - by that I mean they wrap up nicely. Sometimes I always complain about a story being too short while reading short stories, this collection doesn't suffer from that. Not because I wouldn't want to see these into full fledged books, but because they wrap up in a nice tidy way. Even the ones that end obscurely I feel like ended where it needed to end, to let your imagination run wild.
I need a physical copy now, so I can reread some of my favorites - and by that I mean ALL of them. All of these stories impacted me, so I can't list favorites. Is it too soon to reread now, even though I just finished reading it? Haha!
It's out now! Published today! Go get yourself a copy!
