HarperCollins - available June 12, 2018Advance Reading e-Copy provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
My Rating (out of 5)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A collection of dark fantasy and horror short stories - all of them likely to send a shiver down your spine!
I do so like Cargill's writing. This book starts with a little girl crawling through a door under her bed (what could go wrong?) and ending up in a park of sorts, searching for her way back home. It ends with my favorite part of this book - a novella entitled THE SOUL THIEF'S SON, which is a return to the world of two of Cargill's novels DREAMS AND SHADOWS, and QUEEN OF THE DARK THINGS and the character Colby Stevens. If you like urban fantasy and have not read those two novels, I would highly suggest that you do. (You can read my review of the second novel as an Audio book here: QUEEN OF THE DARK THINGS AUDIO BOOK REVIEW. If you have not read those books, not to worry, you will certainly still be able to enjoy this novella as a stand alone.
The other stories in this collection are deliciously dark and include tales of prehistoric horror, a building on top of a crack in the world that tries to contain the damned, a paranormal subway encounter, and more.
Every bit as entertaining as it is dark!
Happy Reading,
Christine
