Customer Reviews
Short storie
I enjoyed every short in this book. I understand that the idea was to tell the stories in a certain amount of words , and I applaud each artist for their phonetic prowess and creativity. Some however needed more. It's almost as if the just reached rotation speed upwind of the departing runway only to have the engine die a mere five hundred feet from the ground yet safely each pilot walked away... Well , almost. Perhaps it's time for me to dig into my creative story telling . You may here from me again. Thank you for the great works Ladies and Gents. I applauded you.
Beautifully written, but...
I love to become fully immersed in my spooky books, and the author’s inspiration segments kinda took away from that. I enjoyed them nonetheless because these stories were less terrifying from the start and more of a build up. Love the writing, keep it up I would love to see more
Very good
I am not a short story kind of guy, but I was looking for something to read, figured why not try this, it's free, and I was glad
I did. Story's were short, but all interesting.
