Pickpick

Out of 19 stories, 17 did something for me so that‘s definitely a pick. This collection of short horror fiction has something for everyone from chicken zombie horror to a mother who has her hands full with her daughter who might be Satan, to a pregnant woman being Andromeda‘ed before the Kracken(I could have read about this one all day), to a sister who discovers a black hole in her brother‘s head ( this one too!!), to some tales that seemed 👇🏼

Reggie to be from the old country. It‘s an I‘m glad I read this in the month of October Pick! 5y
batsy The black hole brother story is by @rohit-sawant right? 👏🏽 Great review! 5y
Reggie @batsy yes and it was pretty awesome!! Thanks!! 5y

Mandoul Sounds cool @Reggie thanks. Worth checking out Luke Smitherd if you havent already. He writes pretty similar stuff, which is often a fun ride. 5y
Chrissyreadit This was not even on my radar, so I went to @rohit-sawant ‘s page and now I think I need to get this book! 5y
RohitSawant Was so tempted to peek at the other stories during the final proofing but managed to resist. 😄 Can't wait to read them, especially after this awesome review. 🙌🏼 5y
Reggie @Mandoul Will do, thanks. Can you recommend a specific book by him or are they all pretty good? (edited) 5y
Reggie @Chrissyreadit yeah, they weren‘t too gory or torturous, some were actually quite moving. I say give it a try. 5y
Mandoul @Reggie on Smitherd I'd recommend a Head Full of Knives (full novel) and The Black Room (broken in to four shorter, linked stories). Plan to check out more of his myself. 5y

@rohit-sawant A couple of things:
1. This story was AMAZING.
2. There‘re some very OMG moments that revved me up.
3. I‘m a sucker for writers who use the word inexorable.
4. I believed all of this story. The brother/sister relationship. The parents.
5. I had this moment where I forgot who wrote this and thought ‘I need to check out this writer‘s novels.‘
6. I can‘t wait until you come out with a novel.
7. I‘m so proud of you!! Great job!!

Whoever put the order of stories together on this book did real well putting this one first. From those first two paragraphs I was hooked and irritated and my skin started to itch. This was a great story about a world in which there can be no darkness for fear of monsters coming through. But what do you do when you close your 👀??? It‘s also a great allegory about the woman in the role of a homemaker who doesn‘t want have to want that. Good stuff!

RohitSawant Whoa, that's a very cool idea! 5y
