[Lauralynn Elliott · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the second collection of short stories I've read by this author. Again, I love the writing style, but have trouble really getting into short stories. There is a character that appears in several of these short stories, both from Sever and Slice. I would really like to see a full length book, or at least a novella, based on this character. I wonder if such a book is in the works....

Now I'm off to read another book by Ty Johnston.

I wanted something quick to read before bed tonight. This was a great choice. 7 quick little stories that were sometimes gruesome, sometimes kind of humorous, and all enjoyable. Not just your ordinary little horror stories.

Great stories that are super fast to read.
