Ladybugs in November by Brittany Johnson
5.0
Johnson sure knows how to write a good short story, she hooked me with Maneater & yet again with Ladybugs in November!
I particularly love in short stories when a reader is left to fill in some of the blanks. I think it adds a dreary, eeriness to the feel of it. What did the ladybugs mean? What do they symbolize? I’ll be pondering these things in the coming days.
I could smell this book, I could feel the story; how gross and dank the house was, the men’s faces in a grim awareness in the end. Deliciously creepy!
As a sidenote, I like that Johnson added in the first chapter of Mississippi Blue after the authors note. This is a nice touch and makes me really excited to read that next!
