Welcome to Litsy!

Such a creepy/atmospheric read, just how Joe managed to create such a palpable, mesmerising read in a novella is a true credit to his writing skills. I devoured this in one sitting as I couldnt put it down, I just had to see where it would end and it did not disappoint as some novellas can when they seem to end abruptly once they have reached a certain word count. Such a well woven story for a compact read. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I didn‘t get to this short story (part of the Creature Feature collection on Amazon) last year, so I listened to it today as a warm up to #HauntedShelf. Creepy for sure!

My October's extra scary #bookspin list.

I have everything here from sort of cozy mysteries to creature features to haunted houses, to teen slashers. I'm excited for October reading.

Spooky season is here (and it will last until at least Spring).

An interesting novella

4/5

I enjoyed reading this. The ending left me a little unsatisfied. I had some questions.

I‘ve had my eye on the Creature Feature. So, it was one of the first things I grabbed when I got it. This collection was all over the place. I enjoyed a few of the stories but then there were several I really didn‘t like. They‘re short books so I‘m glad I gave it a try, but overall, I think this collection was a miss for me. But if you want to know my thoughts on each story head over to Wildwood Reads to check out my mini reviews.

Hi. It‘s February. I forgot that yesterday was the last day of January. If that‘s any indication of how this year is going to go, then I better get ready for a wild ride. Anyhow, let‘s get to my January 2024 wrap up.

I read a few good books and a few duds. So I‘m hoping February is a better reading month all around.

Next #kindleunlimited selection is this Amazon Original short story.

Willy and Marianne mive from Brooklyn to a small town in Maine. There is a religious sect known as the Sin-Planters in the town. And there is something just not right with this little pram Willy is using to haul groceries.
CW: miscarriage

These two short stories, which are part of Amazon‘s new Creature Feature collection, were creepy, quick listens perfect for this time of year. Joe Hill is a favorite author of mine, but I have to say I enjoyed Ankle Snatcher even more. Both were really creepy but Ankle Snatcher was a little more unsettling to me.

Listened to this weekend for #Scarathlon this short horror story worked well as we wonder how much of it is the MC‘s grief-filled #Delusion

Good creepy vibe & the narration was great. This is the 2nd #CreatureFeature selection from Amazon that I‘ve tried.

Just in time for the spooky reading season! A young couple moves to the country in Maine following a heartbreaking miscarriage. The story focuses on Willy, who works from home and is aching for a family. He visits a small grocery store nearby and the owner offers him an old, rickety baby stroller to carry his groceries home. In true Joe Hill fashion, this story took me on quite the creepy journey.

Well. This was frighteningly clever. To me, it felt like a musing on toxic masculinity — a sort of reverse Rosemary‘s Baby meets Children of the Corn. So often stories centered around losing children are through a female lens, so this felt pretty unique and definitely scary. #Scarathlon

Really enjoyed this. Definitely a creepy good story for October.

Is it a cult story or a supernatural story? I won‘t say except that it‘s really creepy, and got creepier as the story progressed. This is horror connected to grief, which just hits hard. A nice short length at just 1:31 meant it was easy for me to finish while commuting. Narrator Robert Petkoff did a great job💯

I‘ve been looking forward to this Creature Feature collection on Amazon & Audible for ages. So glad it‘s finally available!

Starting next on Kindle.
