Strange Secrets by Mike Russell
4.0
I finished this book 2 days ago and I am yet not sure how I feel about this book! I mean this book is STRANGE!!!
Strange Secrets is a collection of seven small stories that deals with secrets of all mankind, our fear of love, life, death, change, being someone else’s puppet, what not! Each one of the stories starts of somewhat normal and as it proceeds to its end, somewhere in between this the line between normal and madness gets blurred and makes things.. unreal.. strange and crazy.
The narration was attractive enough to keep me hooked till the end. I found the ideas behind these stories quite innovative as I’ve never read something so uniquely spooky. My personal favorite story is going to be “MAPS”. I loved the setting and was dreading what was coming next. It was ominous and sad.
I am not a fan of anthologies, but I am slowly beginning to realize, creepy stories or horror stories are best expressed in anthologies. Like tequila shots 😉
