[Tanya · Rating 5 out of 5]

This the third Ted Laughton book I have listened to, all three a free gift from him. I really enjoyed 2 out of those three. This one and “We Burn our Dead”.

This book, The Grave of Sins, is a compilation of short stories that pull you in. A knight in a home he isn’t welcome in, a closet that goes unnoticed by the houses occupants are two of the well written stories you find in here.

His writing is beautiful, it’s an art in itself. The way he brings the words to life, not just the story, is becoming a lost art. His vocabulary is large and a thesaurus is not needed. This is definitely worth the read, or listen.

Perfectly Enjoyable

Ted Laughton is a new author to me. I am glad that I found him. This book of short stories were very interesting and each held my attention. They were well thought out and was far from rote. Each was paced differently and were well written. I will be looking for more from him.

A complimentary copy of this title was received in a Goodreads giveaway. This was a quick series of short stories that were varied in type and style. None of the stories were overly memorable on their own but an interesting collection. Recommended for fans of darker short stories.
