White Dialogues

I've never read any horror/psychological thriller stories before but I liked this as a way to dip my toe in. Lots of captivating characters and inner monologues that are so subtle in their ways to make you think: "Maybe I'm going crazy too!" It's a book that begs to be read as if there were words between words. One should read this in the dark, alone, not because it'll make it scarier, but because it'll really get you into the heads of the characters. Though not all of the stories seemed like they deserved to be here. There is a good handful that just doesn't work for me. Concepts flow from story to story, which can be annoying, but also really cool when done right.

"Since they’re short stories I’ll do updates. House-sitting:PANIK! Pretty spooky with a really good cliff hanger. I like how it navigates the mind. The first second person story I’ve enjoyed. Also a really good metaphor for analyzing literature which was meta. The Bookcase: kept getting a little lost with who and when people were talk/telling a story but I thought it pulled apart personal narrative in a cool way"

"Ekphrases: more spooks, that all together, make me feel like I’m being watched by that nightmare of a face. How do we misunderstand the world in a way that gets us hurt?"

"Two Guys Watching Cujo on Mute: this one confused me but I thought it used form in a cool way. Maybe this could be an excuse for me to never get a dog though."

"Destroy all monsters: this one was just cool to live in. Such an interesting representation of the mind and how it can imagine and create worlds."

"Za: One of if not my favorite of the collection. Such an engaging head to be in for a few pages.
A Premonition: My favorite one of the shorter stories. That final image is very spooky.
Radical Closure: Though I think it's the charm of the book, most of the ideas from this story have been seen and talked about better in other stories.
White Dialogues: Freaking crazy. What a way to stress about the end of the world."
