The Ones That Got Away by Stephen Graham Jones, Laird Barron
3.75

“When you’re twelve, your superstitions are pure like they’ll never be again, I’m pretty sure.”

The Ones That Got Away 
By Stephen Graham Jones

 What we have here is a collection of thirteen? I think? Short stories from SGJ. 
Most of the stories I throughly enjoyed, they were weird and creepy and hit the mark. 
Then there were others, just a few, I felt like I was too dumb to understand and the point went over my head, but that’s probably a me issue. 

I don’t quite understand the low ratings that others have given this collection. As far as short stories go I over all enjoyed them.
