Autumncrow by Cameron Chaney
5.0
FIVE STARS! Autumncrow has been one of my favorite reads of the entire year so far, and I can see it becoming an all-time favorite of mine that I will revisit time and time again. Cameron Chaney has done an incredible job with capturing the mood and atmosphere of autumn and of Halloween time in this wonderful collection of stories.
The prose is elegant but still easy-to-read and approachable, and, in my opinion, there are no weak stories here. I enjoyed each one, but my personal favorite was CRYP-TV. That story had plenty of nostalgia, humor, and was filled with Halloween vibes. Another thing I loved about the collection is that each story had a small connection to another story within the book. This is a welcomed change from other collections I've read -- most are a hodgepodge of non-related stories.
If you'd like to hear more of my thoughts on this collection, I dedicated an entire video to discussing it. You can check out my Autumncrow reading vlog here: https://youtu.be/5ojMWRXq5OE
Overall, I very much enjoyed my "trip" to Autumncrow, and I can't wait to see what else Cameron Chaney has in store for us with his upcoming new book Autumncrow High. I will be excited to read anything he writes in the future.
