Goblin: A Novel in Six Novellas | 
so-so3✨ A book of novellas about one place. This location called Goblin is all sorts of dark and twisty. We have different POV for each novella and some were more engaging than others. I was hoping for I little bit more from this, but not all the story stories disappointed me.
My #bookspinbingo for February💗 let‘s see what this month brings.
so-soLanding solidly in the middle on this one. The majority of the stories would have been so much better if they were shorter. This was an insanely verbose book. Plus I was definitely not a fan of the end it was just meh. My favorite story in here was the magician. Again it could have been shorter but the ending to that story actually gave me chills.
panI couldn't get my hands on Bird Box so I thought this sounded interesting for a fall read last year.
Great concept. Great writting. But doesn't ever go anywhere. It was such a let down. I mean there are some amazing ideas in here. AMAZING. Which made it that much worse when nothing really happens.
Trying to psych myself out of a reading slump by perusing the library shelves… will one of these do the trick?
pickI loved this collection of six novellas, all revolving around the inhabitants of a strange little town called Goblin. Everything in the book is just delightfully weird. I also felt the short stories were very well done; they reminded me, skill-wise, of Stephen King‘s old school and excellent short story collection Night Shift. Each story left me wanting more. #netgalley #arc Photo credit to my daughter #petoskey #puremichigan #upnorth
so-soInteresting concept, but not the strongest execution from this author.
The story of the small town of Goblin, and all the supernatural/scary things that go on there, is told through 6 separate stories that I wish had connected more. Without the cohesiveness between the stories I felt unsatisfied with the story, wanting more explanation.
I did love the idea behind this though, so that's why it's a so-so and not a pan. #netgalley
Enjoying this collection of six horror stories!
pickI have mixed feelings about this book. I felt it was very well written, which encouraged me to keep reading. At the same time, parts of it were very boring. I didn't like the long, introspective passages. I wanted more action. I wanted more horror. There was definitely some creepy stuff here, but not enough. The town of Goblin sounded very interesting, but the people were just kind of meh. My favorite story was the prologue/epilogue.
