2015 Reading Challenge [Closed] discussion

I read Horns a few months ago and really liked it, so hopefully these stories will be as good.

I'm reading this one now for this category as well. I'm not too far into it, but so far I am enjoying it.

I just finished reading it a while ago. I rated it four stars, but I was just a little disappointed by it. I thought the concept of the stories were all interesting and unique, but I just wish that they had been a little scarier. However, it is still a fun read and some of the stories are pretty weird.

I just started reading this. I've only finished one of the stories (Best New Horror) and am really impressed so far. He did a really good job of making me feel like I was in the story with the main character which did make it a little scary. The only other book that has scared me was Heart Shaped Box so maybe Joe Hill is just my author for truly scary books.

I just finished reading this and also rated it 4 stars.

Overall, the themes were really interesting especially with Pop Art and You Will Hear the Locust Sing. The stories didn't end up being scary so much as unsettling.

I haven't really gotten into reading short stories before. I'm not sure that I ever really gave them the chance, but the challenge has successfully gotten me interested in a new genre. I really liked being able to pick something short when I needed a break from my main read and I was genuinely impressed with Hill's ability to convey so much is such a short time.
