At Home with the Horrors by Sammy Scott
3.0
Hmmmmm, I have thoughts lol. The first few stories I thought were GREAT! I was feeling so good about it and happy to finally be enjoying a short story collection! I think I’ve discovered that horror is definitely fun in this format; reminds me of those two sentence horror stories from tumblr lol. But theeeeeeen it fell SO FLAT for me. I feel the second half was just downhill. So many of the stories felt pointless, slow, or just not horror? I don’t know but they weren’t really for me.
Here are my ratings of all the individual stories:
What We Have Here 4.5/5
Theresa 4.5/5
Blackbird 3/5
The Sisters 4/5
Peeping Tommy: 4/5
Becca: 4/5

Katherine: 3.5/5
Scared Mary: 2.5/5
Something Else Entirely: 3/5
Nancy: 3.5/5
People you may know: 1/5
Emil Bones: 3/5 DNF
