While I had never read Percy's work before, I had seen many people in the book community praise him on his ability to write really scary stuff. I can confirm this and say that Suicide Woods is and will probably be the scariest literature I have/will read this year. However, out of the nine short stories and one novella, I really only enjoyed about half of them. The two stories that really stood out to me were "The Heart of a Bear" and "The Cold Boy". I don't want to write any summaries because the stories are pretty short and I do not think I can properly describe them without giving away spoilers. However, if you are looking for a terrifying collection of literature to read this fall, this is the book for you.
