I really have a love and hate relationship with horror short stories. Every now and then I really love one and it affects me. Yes, Shirley Jackson I'm talking you! This was my first book by John Connolly and it really wasn't the best one for me to pick. I should've started with "The Book of Lost Things." I will still get to that one though, I think it will be more my style.

I listened to this one on audio. It took me forever. To be fair, it always takes me longer on audio because I'm antsy. I've been trying to get better at listening to them though because they can be an amazing thing. That was not really the case with this one. Narrator, Jeff Harding, did horrible accents. I cringed every time he did a woman's voice. It probably took away from a lot of the stories.

I liked a couple of the stories. Most of them I had a hard time keeping focus because I kept getting bored. I did like Cancer Cowboy, New Daughter and the one about the clowns (can't think of the name right now).

I can't really personally recommend it since I didn't enjoy it but I also wouldn't say not to read it. Lots of people seem to really like this one, so if it sounds like something that might interest you then go for it. It certainly wasn't badly written. I would NOT recommend the audio on this one though.
