Charlie Twelve Terrifying Tales for 2011 edition by Shana Hammaker Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
I wasn't sure about this one when I read the title. But I was immediately taken in. I read this three times, an it seems to get better every single time. One of the best short stories I've ever read. Awesome story, very talented author. I can't wait for the next one!
I love the way the author weaves a tale. I was transfixed from the start. I love the twist ending. I will be reading all of Shana's stories......
Alex's new house has everything she wanted, and one thing she didn't - a rotting corpse that just won't go away.
This gruesome little thriller is a good read, and makes me want to check out the others in the series. It's the first thing I've read by Shana Hammaker, but it won't be the last.
When I read the description I expected a very different story from the one I read. In fact, I thought I knew what to expect - was I ever wrong! I was completely taken in and that isn't easily done. Shana Hammaker told a completely different tale and I loved it! I can't say more or it will give it away. It's a worthy read and the next 2 offerings in this series are already on my 'to be read' list.
The idea of a body that keeps showing up always reminds me of The Trouble With Harry, but Charlie is much more sinister than that. In a way, it's quite a heartbreaking tale. Some twists are hard to sell, but this one was set up beautifully. I was sucked in from the first sentence and couldn't stop until I'd finished the whole thing. Great read.
Other reviewers have said what I would about the story, but my main opinion was how well it was written. There was the other thing going on, scary story with a twist, but I found the writing itself to be really good. Whatever this author writes will probably be a joy to read. I just happen to like this kind of story and I love short stories. I had purposely put this on my phone so I could read it during a short wait time. Finally I chose to read it and am only sorry I put it off at all. I don't go out of my way to do reviews on all I read, but had to do one for this story. Now on to find the rest of her work.
If "Charlie" is taste of what the twelve terrifying tales are like, I will definitely be reading the rest!
What I loved in the beginning is that instead of trying to "freak people out" in a stereotypical way, it was all so normal. The main character had a personality, she had hopes, dreams and disappointnments, like all of us---money concerns, relationship concerns---totally relatable!
What I also liked is that the author understood how a short story doesn't give you a lot of room for set-up/back story, yet she still helped us settle in calmly, before things started to go awry ;-)
I don't want to spoil the ending, or give away the disturbing elements, but I really enjoyed reading this curled up in bed!
