I liked how there was one meta-narrative story that linked different stories together and it was easy to switch from a story to another one.

The first one wasn't my thing, it was just strange and didn't make me feel something. But luckily stories went better and the second one was enjoyable. And the last one was awesome and definitely my favorite.

While searching for something on my Kindle to read while eating dinner, I recalled that I read most of the inaugural Rewind or Die selection in October. I read the remainder (the final story by Philip Fracassi) & am so glad I did. The final work about a woman who falls in love with Martin, the sentient mouth & eyes on the back of her husband's head, was so ridiculous that I was laughing over my spaghetti & wine & reading passages out loud. 👇

vivastory The Rewind or Die mission statement is to replicate the movie watching experience of the obscure & campy horror movies caught on cable late at night, or checked out from a video store (when they existed). A blast! Will definitely be reading more. (edited) 2y

kiarapaige18 Very interesting 2y

Reggie I love that last story. It‘s very “IS the grass greener on the other side?” 2y

vivastory @Reggie 💯 The ending! 2y

Catching up on some reviews today...

First is this great short story collection that starts the Rewind or Die series. The setup in this book involves three stories by three different authors, and the interesting part is that the stories are told within a story. A couple's car breaks down and the tow truck driver proceeds to tell them the stories as he's driving them.

I really enjoyed this creepy collection.

Addison_Reads #BlameItonLitsy @Reggie your reviews of this series are why I finally decided to try it out. 😀 I hope your reading slump gets better soon. 3y

Addison_Reads For those interested, this series is on Kindle Unlimited. 3y

TheSpineView Way to go! 3y

Reggie Oh my gosh, I really enjoyed SGJ‘s story in here but the one about the woman falling in love with the back of the head of her husband really got to me in that grass isn‘t always greener on the other side kinda way. Glad you liked this. You‘ll love #‘s 2-7. 3y

Hoping back to the first novella after reading Cirque Berserk earlier this month and this is a great tone-setter, I think. It's WILD and also feels like an anthology film, or a format expanding Tales from the Crypt. I liked Stephen Graham Jones's story best, but all were fine to quite good!

khooliha The middle story feels very cisnormative to me, but most stories of one gender doing something to the *deep sigh* only other gender do. It's been on my mind lately. 3y

On the way home from a party, a couple crashes their car in a ditch. Lucky for them a tow truck driving past stops for them. The driver, he looks a little like Frankenstein‘s monster. Then the driver tells them 3 stories that sound a little familiar to them:
1. A teenager finds doom in picking his future off a paper fortune origami.
2. A male chauvinist pig wakes up after 7 years in a coma to find women rule the world.
3. A woman falls in 👇🏼

Reggie love with the face appearing at the back of her boring husband‘s head. These stories and the one that frames them were a decent read. #1 in the Rewind or Die novellas series. (edited) 3y

CoverToCoverGirl Scary cover ...yikes 3y

Reggie @BarbaraBB lol, thanks, 🖤🖤🖤 3y

Reggie @Cathythoughts I really liked the 3rd story because while the husband is asleep she starts having an affair with the face growing out of the back of the husbands head. So much so that they decide to kill the husband. So she suffocated him, but the guy living in the back survives. And next thing you know the back of the head guy starts to whisper to the back of her head when he thinks she is asleep. It‘s a very the grass isn‘t always greener 👇🏼 3y

Reggie on the other side kinda story. Lol 3y

Reggie @CoverToCoverGirl if that‘s the guy who wants to give me a ride somewhere I‘d just have to pass. He‘s the guy who picks the couple up in the book. 3y

Reggie @NikkiM5 I hope you like it! 3y

Cathythoughts That is outrageous & kind of brilliant & I love the madness of it all ... I‘m laughing 😂... it might not be so funny if I read it though 😳.... what a fantastic story 3y

Cathythoughts You know what , I‘m stacking this 👍🏻 🖤 just for the hell of it 😆 (edited) 3y

Reggie @Cathythoughts 😁that‘s why I told you about the last story. Because even if you never read it you know such fantastic weirdness is out there. 🖤 3y

I think I‘m gonna be spending my foreseeable future with the horror novella series Rewind or Die. So I started at #1 today which includes this short story by Stephen Graham Jones that has this poor high school kid with purple hair picking his way off a paper fortune teller into a cosmic hell. I love Stephen Graham Jones....🖤🖤🖤

readordierachel Oo, that's an intriguing premise! 3y
