Beneath a Pale Sky by Philip Fracassi
slow-paced
2.75
I am still very new to the horror genre and I received this collection of short stories in the Nightworms subscription box, so I thought I would give it a go. Here's the thing, none of these stories scared me, none of them would keep me up at night. Maybe I have a higher threshold than some? What I did like was the writing. Beautiful descriptions, striking mental images and a sense of unease and dread did keep me turning the pages on some of the stories.
Harvest - 3.5 stars (loved the characters and the ambience of this one the best)
The Wheel - 3 stars
Soda Jerk - 3 stars
Symphony - 2
Ateuchus - 2
ID - 4 (loved the setting)
Fragile Dreams - 1 (way too long!)
Death, My Old Friend - 3
Some of the individual ratings could have been higher if the ending was a bit stronger or not as ambiguous.
