Things Withered by Susie Moloney
3.0
I find it quite difficult to rate a book that's an anthology. Some stories I may absolutely adore, some may be mediocre, others I may not enjoy at all. Such is the case of Things Withered.
All the stories are well written. There is a truck that has a certain pull on a young man which reminded me a lot of Stephen King's Christine. A woman who has an affair with a married man and suffers a cruel fate. A real estate broker who is getting on in years and needs a leg above the competition. And perhaps my favorite that involves a Disney store. I will never look at a stuffed Tigger the same way again.
Things Withered is a decent creepy book. It has the story style of The Twilight Zone. However, being a horror fan for oodles of years, I expect a bit more from my horror books. There was just something missing for me. I want to be clinging to my blankets, afraid to get out of bed because something might grab my foot from underneath. I want to be terrified to turn out the lights.
I want to be as freaked out as this cat.
