Finally! An Horror Author Dedicates a Book to Drabbles

Three hundred very different, uniquely disturbing stories told in exactly one hundred words each. John Watson has done it again.
I am biased, of course, because the drabble is my favorite story length and so many authors seem to overlook its value-- but I can very much recommend this book to anyone who wants a fast read through a wide variety of horror landscapes.
Satisfying.
