No blood and guts - chilling stories

If you've ever enjoyed Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, or the 'quiet' horror of Shirley Jackson or Joyce Carol Oates, give this book a try. You might be pleasantly surprised.

A Collection of Lovely stories in a genre where you don't usually hear that word

There is something so understated and bittersweet about these tales, that to call them "horror," with all the images of dismemberments and psychopaths that that word conjures, seems terribly unfair and misleading. They remind me of the Twilight Zone episodes and Alfred Hitchcock stories I grew up with, in which there was always some sense of justice and retribution and order, even if they included sadness or pain. I highly recommend this collection.

Enjoyable Shivers

Nice mix of mystery, suspense and terror! Great descriptions, realistic settings and believable characters.

A stimulating ride

I don't usually read stories in the horror genre, but a friend recommended Hook House, and I was delighted with it. The stories are tight and engaging, and took me on a series of varied and stimulating rides. I particularly liked Hicklebickle Rock and Chazzabryom, and appreciate Sherry Decker's ability to make her characters come to life. A truly enjoyable read. A Reader from North Bend, WA
