I know this was a novella but I still think you can have more fleshed out characters even in a shorter story. I couldn't relate to these characters.

This was pretty creepy and atmospheric, but I am just not a big fan of cosmic horror. I didn't like the writing either, it just made my mind wander and I had to concentrate really hard on reading.

I know some really love this. This was a decent story but I just prefer other horror genres.

Bookwomble I'm one of those who really love this story 😊 And Blackwood's stories generally. 2h

I‘m not sure about this one. I tend to avoid short stories. I never like them. But maybe because they are connected I‘ll be okay. lol we are skipping White Sand. It‘s only short, but there‘s something about where it fits into the Cosmere. We will read it later. This reading order has worked so far, so I‘m going to trust it. #CosmereBuddyRead

Meshell1313 Ooh I love this! I trust you completely- you haven‘t steered us wrong! 20h
Leniverse I'm a bit scared that they're all named something System. Are we being treated to a whole collection of new magic systems? 😬😅 20h
rabbitprincess @Leniverse I‘m hoping the Rosharan one will just be elaborating on the Stormlight Archives magic system 😅 19h
rabbitprincess @Meshell1313 I agree, this reading order has been excellent! 19h

@Allyneedsbooks and I got to visit the BEST little bookstore in upstate New York. It‘s a mix of new and used books with some antiques thrown in, all under the roof of the most precious old house turned perfect bookstore setting. Hardwood floors, porch to sit on, completely beautiful surroundings for book wandering. It was EVERYTHING!

This is a collection of 4 stories and I thought it was great. The stories are creepy and the artwork was amazing. I recommend this book.

I enjoyed this much more than I expected because I typically don‘t go for short stories. But this was quite lovely. Obviously some stories were better than others but how everything was pulled together at the end really made it for me.

nanuska_153 I read The Scent Keeper by this author and I really loved her writing style 3d
janeycanuck @nanuska_153 oh, I‘ll have to take a look for that. This is the only thing I‘ve read by her. 3d

I didn't *adore* this one, but as I've observed before, with these short story collections from the British Library Crime Classics collections, they're often more than the sum of their parts. It makes for a fun survey of classic crime in the period, and there were a couple I liked quite a bit -- R. Austin Freeman's stories are always so detailed, for instance.

Aaand that was my #BookSpin!
