This is fascinating.

London is such a little shit.

I love all the real life details about the Vineyard Jacks9n is including. Now I just want her to come to Nantucket and write a story about our island! 💙🙏

47 Pineview. That was unsettling. I can't even imagine that being your life.

I'm so invested in this!
Why hadn't I read it yet!?

Yessss, Alma, you definitely deserve a night out!

CJ Leede never disappoints! That was gross and thouggtful. I really enjoy from the sea stories, particularly involving horror. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I'd give Rachel Harrison's story ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Not a ton happened, but it was thoughtful and I found the protagonist's narrative voice so real and believable. I just live her writing 💜

Having read from Kylie Lee Baker three other times, that story was not what I was expecting. I would give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5-stars. I am wondering if it is perhaps inspired by a bit of folklore that I'm unfamiliar with, because it did have the air of a dark fairy tale about it.

What the heck!? How did she know Lilou's last name!?

Story #2: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 -- Wow, Del Sandeen, you got me with that one. I felt like this had such a classic horror feel, but was also such a creative concept. So it played on past tropes, while also bringing something completely new to the table!

Story #1: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
That was so unique; very interesting. I've never read from Kay Chronister before, but would love to read more now!

This is quite stark and melancholic so far.
It's bringing to mind for me the 2010 movie, Winter Bone, as far as the tone. I have a feeling it may break my heart a little bit...

OMG, okay. Yeah. I was not expecting that...

I'd say it's about time I got to this one 😝

That went well with his sister...
I still don't know why someone would kill him?

I'm liking how this 1st-story follows a Cultural Anthropologist doing fieldwork with his wife in tow, though she seems the more intelligent of the two...

I'm still sus as hell as Buffy, but if it were her, she'd have to have an accomplice, because she was with the other two when Cam was kidnapped? Maybe her Mom?

Well that police officer was a complete waste of time. He did f* all about the fact this guy is dead. WTF

I love the idea of this abandoned hotel. And that Aubrey is into photographing abandoned placed. I love abandoned place content on YT, so I'm definitely able to picture what's going on thus far.

Wait, who is this dead person though? And would someone really do that just to scare them away? But why?

Okay, did not expect what happened after the other kids left, but also, very Scream, right? Was that intentional? The actual wording, the phone call, I'll gut you...I mean of course the Reader is going to immediately think of Scream, right?

Is this the most boring book of Stephen King's that I've ever read.
Yeah, probably. I've only read 55-books of his, but I think I have a good grasp on it.
Is this still eons better than a lot of other books I've read not written by Stephen King? Also, yeahhhh, most definitely.

Loving the setting of this one, and of course the chemistry between Diana and Alistair!

Come on, Dorothea, really?
You're just figuring this out?
You thought there were two women named Jocelyn and not just one that had changed her last name!?
You're better than that, Dorothea, honestly.

🤦‍♀️

False. Splitting up is never your only choice.
Amber, you're smarter than this. I still think Buffy has something to do with all this!

There is so much more to explore here. This has to be the start of a series, right?

Clary is more clever, even at this point, than people give her credit for. I mean, not with the whole Simon thing, I can't believe she didn't see that coming 🤣 but with other things...

This is quite interesting.
My mind is spinning trying to figure out what is going on.
It's confusing, but not in an unpleasant way.
I like the dystopian sort of feel to the world.

There's something decidedly Fear Street: The New Girl about Buffy. I don't trust her at all. What's her actual interest in Carrington Manor?
