Jude Goulding’s Reviews > A Whisper of Blood > Status Update

Home By The Sea: This one started ok but I think I liked it. Other reviews say this is a standout one and I agree to an extent. It is better than a lot of the rest of this book and I'd like to see more of the wider world. I can't shake the feeling that it was a high quality product that I just didn't enjoy as much as some previous entries that really shone 3.5/5

I think I forgot 13 earlier.
13. Requiem: Really cool. Started quite rough but proved to be worth the effort and genuinely interesting. I'd like to see more of the world and how people live 4/5

15. Do I Dare Ear a Peach: I, ironically, did not remember this one and had to go back and check it. It was well written and I enjoyed it while I was reading it. Very little actually happens or is learnt so it didn't leave a huge impression on me. Amnesia stories do interest me and this was good 4/5
16. This one made me quite uncomfortable but it was well written and clearly thought out 3/5

14. Infidel: Well written but very strange at the end. The atmosphere was very good, but I would not recommend it to anyone for anything deeper than the cool surface level descriptions and vibes 3/5

10. Pool People: Remarkably powerful, much more serious than any of the others so far. Unexpected but welcome weight 4/5
11. A week in the inside: I liked this one but found it extremely weird how he has sex with the female vampires body after killing her 4/5
12. Requiem: Really cool, started rough but proved to be interesting. I like the world and its ramifications 4/5

6. Folly for three: The syntax of this was interesting but it got quite old half way through, I don't really get what it's trying to say or why it's here. 2/5
7. The impaler in love: I hate this one 0/5
8. The moose church: Fun format, weird story, cool idea 4/5
9. Mrs Rinaldis Angel: Really cool. Classical and interesting style 4/5

4. Teratisms: This fairs worse in my memory than it did while reading though I didn't like it then. It is written like it's already a classic but it really isn't. The dialogue is hard to follow sometimes and the prose is vague. 1/5
5. M is for many things: I didn't and probably don't understand this one, it was written in a style that reminded me of classic children's tales. Really quite menacing 3/5

1. Lay Me Down: Entertaining but not extremely memorable or meaningful. This interpretation of a vampire was refreshingly unique. 2/5
2. The Slug: Picked up as it went along, this one was enjoyable and I liked the ending. 3/5
3. The Warm Man: This one was excellent, I really enjoyed reading it and it was a nice take on the idea. 5/5
