When shall we start?"
I'm starting tonight with the first story, I think Ginger has started already. I'm not usually too quick so just dive in. Nice to have you here Marie Helene.

Like I told Melanie, I've been on a Joe Hill kick here recently and I'm glad to finally get to this one!
If you have to take your time with this one or read slow, no worries. I plan to read the short stories slowly with my other reads.
Let's do this! :D


Damn that library hold! I hope you still read this Mel. The first short story was damn creepy. :D

Same here Mel!


Damn those "people"!! ;) hahaha
That sounds fine with me on finishing this in a few weeks. It will work with a BR coming up and a few library books becoming available.
That's what I love about short stories in a book. You can read one at a setting and then not have to pick up the book for a few days.

🤣😂


I hope you can D! This was a totally implussive BR but I'm glad we're doing it. I plan on reading this one slowly if that helps you on making up your mind on joining. :D


Yeah, that first story gave me the creeps! hahaha!


Yay!!! I’m so glad you can join this BR Melissa!

Awesome Melissa. I read the 2nd story, not so impressed (view spoiler) .

Pardon the intrusion. Continue with buddy read...

Awesome!!

I'm looking forward to that one Rob! Glad you liked this collection!

It just seemed confusing to me. Not really scaring or horror like at all.

I didn’t love that one as much as the first one! That one blew my mind!! 😳

I know. I’m wondering if it was just the weirdness of it and that’s why they added it. 🤔 But remember (view spoiler) 😊

Hahaha! It is a weird one. Maybe he just has lots of (view spoiler)

That could be true! In that case (view spoiler)

You Will Hear the Locust Sing - Nope. (view spoiler)
There's certainly horrorific elements here but the I've never really enjoyed surrealist writing, maybe the next story will be better.


Yeah, I was confused by the Jewish link as well. I thought it was well written as well but definitely not a “horror” or ghost story. I’m confused why it was put in a compilation of ghost/horror stories. 🤷🏼♀️

Haha!! Yeah, you might not make it if this is the pattern Melanie.
I loved this one by the way. (view spoiler)

I see your point 🤔😊

Well written and I enjoyed the touches of humour.
Would make a great 'Tales from the crypt' episode 😀

I loved it. Not creepy but eerie. And Joe Hill is a movie buff too 😀

You are so right Marie! That would be a great "Tales of the Crypt" episode! I liked how at the end (view spoiler)
