Whenever I read a collection of short stories, it seems more often than not to be my luck that there are some stories I truly enjoy and others I don’t. This book is one of those! Some stories gave me the spooky (and in some cases humorous) vibes I was looking for, while others were just more weird than spooky or I was let down by the ending. 😕
Here are some of my favorite stories in this collection:
❄️ Father’s Last Christmas by Lee Murray
❄️ Nice by Nat Cassidy
❄️ Thaw by Rachel Harrison
❄️ Threads of Epiphany by Sara Tantlinger
❄️ The Ladies’ Society for the Dead by Darcy Coates
❄️ Being Nice by Jeff Strand
I still would recommend checking this collection out, as I would say it has a little something for every taste! 👏
