Have I really had this since the summer? Man, I'm so behind on Netgalley/Edelweiss titles.
Read so far:
"Hellhole" by Christopher Denham. 2.5 stars.
"Valdivia" by Eli Roth. 2 stars.
"Golden Hour" by Jeremy Slater, 3 stars.
"A Clean White Room" by Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill. 4 stars. This was the first one I thought was strong all the way through to the end.
"The Leap" by Dana Stevens. 4 stars. This is my favorite one so far. Loved it. Excellently ominous ending. But who is Dana Stevens?
At this point, I went and got the hardcover from the library. I've found I dislike reading short stories on the Kindle. I want to know how many pages each story is before I start it, and I want to skip around.
"The Darkish Man" by Nissar Modi. Competently written, not doing anything interesting though. 2 stars.
"1987" by Ethan Hawke. What the hell was this? 1 star.
"Donations" by William Joselyn. 2 stars.
"The Old Jail" by Sarah Langan. Sarah Langan's writing always creeps me out and this is no exception. Very Lovecraftian. 4 stars.
"Meat Maker" by Mark Neveldine. Pointless and poorly written. 1 star.
"Novel Fifteen" by Steve Faber. A chilling, kind of sad, disorienting look at failing your potential. 4 stars.
"Geist" by Les Bohem. Middling ghost story: not bad, but doesn't stand out. 3 stars.
"Gentholme" by Simon Kurt Unsworth. I think I missed something at the end, and the strange town could have had more development with the creepy vibe. 3 stars.
