Boarded Windows, Dead Leaves by Michael Jess Alexander
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A good selection of grisly stories to read before you go to bed.
I like how there is a connected theme throughout this book. I’ve always been a fan of short chronicles, and this group’s brevity is welcome.
My favorites in this collection are Warm and Tender, The Delivery, Accident at the Laboratory, and Vic.
There are some great twists given in these stories, my favorite being The Delivery. After reading it, I found myself thinking about this ghastly tale while devouring my delicious meal. At first, the description of the villain wasn’t frightening to me, but after thinking about it, it dawned on me how creepy it is!
Accident at the Laboratory had me thinking about The Flying Spaghetti Monster, and I enjoyed the different style of this work compared to the others. I relished the transformation given in Vic, and karma is something to watch out for in Warm and Tender.
Only four stars because the selection as a whole has to be fantastic to get a five-star rating. Nonetheless, this is a great fiction assembly; if you don’t mind getting goosebumps, I recommend feasting on this ensemble of grim stories.
