The Visitors Book
The Visitors Book | Sophie Hannah
9 posts | 6 read | 6 to read
In this small but perfectly formed collection of supernatural short stories, Sophie Hannah takes the comforting scenes of everyday life and imbues them with a frisson of fear, then a gust of terror. Why is a young woman so unnerved by the presence of a visitors book in her boyfriend's inner-city home? And whose spidery handwriting is it that fills the pages? Who is the strangely courteous boy still lingering at a child's tenth birthday party when all the parents have gathered their children and left? And why does the presence of a perfectly ordinary woman in a post office queue leave another customer pallid and sweating with fear?Beware what you open this Christmas!

55/22 Although this was a quick read (a one sit wonder) the best thing about this compilation of 4 short stories was the cover. Although each one had potential I didn‘t feel like any of them delivered in the end. Although Hannah is obviously skilled in building tension for me there was nothing very clever about these stories because at the end I was left with lots of reasons why it just didn‘t work #scarathlon #teammonstermash wordsearch- 80 pts

Whilst the kids are in the bath I‘m attempting to squeeze in one last book of short stories for #scarathlon before the end of week 3 👻

Is it too early to get my October reading pile together? I‘m not sure what I will be reading but it will be coming from this bunch of books I‘ve had sitting on my shelf, waiting for autumn.

I know nothing about the tagged book but saw it in a charity shop and fell in love with the cover. And I also bought Shh We Have a Plan because I love Chris Haughton and my kids were suitable impressed with this book when we borrowed it from the library that it can come to live on the forever shelf, you can‘t say no for 50p!
