Since I recently discovered Bentley Little, I was delighted to read this book which is a collection of short stories of different kinds of horror. This book is right up my alley with my kind of stories. I love how Little converts a mundane, ordinary, everyday incident or scenario into an unimaginably scary situation which tugs at the reader’s deepest fears. And then there are stories which creep up during a feverish dream, or during those typical bouts of crazy imagination.

There are 27 stories, each a pretty quick read. Milk Ranch Point actually made me look behind my back as I lay listening to the audiobook in the dark, at night. Last Rodeo on the Circuit & The Man Who Watched Cartoons, made me feel a little sick. I loved the contemporary setting of Black Friday & MoNA Retrospective, Los Angeles. Pictures of Huxley was sweet & relatable as it involved death & loss of a loved one.

I absolutely loved the wide variety of these stories. Many readers complain that the stories seem incomplete. It’s like having to explain a witty joke, some dots are meant to be connected by the readers.

Overall, this is a highly recommended book for fans of horror & dark stories.

There is no one better at combining horror, satire and truly disgusting gross outs than Bentley Little.

Bentley Little has been and continues to be one of my favorite authors. He has a unique gift for taking an ordinary situation like a car trip or the day in the life of a school girl, and turning it into something supernatural and horrifying. Even his craziest and most bizarre tales that begin with something far less innocent, such as murdering your parents because all the cool kids are doing it have me in stitches. I sometimes don't know whether to shudder or chuckle but probably the biggest compliment I can pay is to say that Bentley Little is never boring. Of these 27 stories there were only a few that missed the mark for me, but the rest more than made up for it.

Not a huge fan of short stories. A couple were good, the rest were kind of blah. I think because they were short stories, they just felt off to me. Not enough of what Little, Little in them.

This was a solid collection. There wasn't a single story that I didn't like.

Some of the stories were ok but not really this writers strong area.
