Terrace Story by Hilary Leichter
2.0
I didn't realize this book would be broken up into three different stories. I didn't see anywhere in the summary, or within the genres, that this is especially short stories. I only liked the first one and thought the other two were boring in comparison. This completely ruined the book for me.
The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King

This book isn't listed as a young adult or middle grade read, but it's written so juvenile. King dedicated this book to his daughter in the beginning, so I guess I should've expected it? But I wanted a well-rounded, adult fantasy book with the same amount of detail he usually puts into his horror collections but this wasn't that at all. It's narrated as if someone is telling you a bedtime fairy-tale. I think if I had known this novel was like this ahead of time I would've engaged better with it, however this isn't what I wanted to read so I will move onto TLOTR series. Yippie!

I need to stop giving Christmas themed books a chance.
Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao
Just kidding. Pretty fun book. I know this is YA but it could easily be an adult book. I think it falls apart just a little in the middle, but the overall premise is very entertaining. An easy book, with difficult themes to get through.

how disappointing... i'm sure there's at least one good story within this collection, but from what i've read none of these authors can actually write. at least not horror. these stories are boring, lack depth, and aren't satisfactory in the "horror" genre. too many "what is the point of me reading this?". unfortunate.
