Amazon review -
I’m usually not a fan of these kind of books or stories but my teen is so I decided to give Mr Armstrong’s book a try. I am so glad I did! I expected typical horror with gore or nasty creatures but was pleasantly surprised with well thought out characters that you could tell the author put a lot of effort into. His stories were perfect in that they gave you the characters, plot, suspense, and thrills all in short tales. I honestly would have been fine reading full books about several of his characters. I think “Sandman” was my favorite for some reason. Something about it just really grabbed me and I would love to read a full length book on the backstory for it.
As I said, I didn’t hold much hope for this book because it’s not my usual genre and still isn’t but this collection of short stories is definitely one I will be keeping to read again when I’m in the mood for a nice bit of thrill and suspense.
