A review by adamsfall
Guestbook: Ghost Stories by Leanne Shapton
3.0
This book left me scratching my head on how I should review it.
On the one hand: there are 3-4 of these little vignettes of spookiness that really stuck with me and are some of the finest examples of horror done in the most subtle of ways — Billy Byron, At The Foot of The Bed, Sirena De Gali, Alcatraz, Être Chez Soi, and The Couple
The rest of them seemed a little too ‘modern art’ for me and were too abstract. Maybe I wasn’t in the right mindset or didn’t spend enough time with them.
Overall the book is a solid 2.5-3 stars but those stories I listed would make it a 5 star experience if the others were more like those.
Super unique book. Not for everyone. Certainly not entirely for me, but that’s okay too. Worth checking out!
