Fears: Tales of Psychological Horror

Ellen Datlow

DID NOT FINISH

I found so many of the stories boring that I just gave up. That's never happened with a Datlow anthology before, but they can't all be winners. 

I, Zombie

Hugh Howey

DID NOT FINISH: 30%

Boring

The Bleed

Stephen S. Schreffler

DID NOT FINISH

I'm not a fan of the writing style. Also there were some things mentioned in the book that were not around in 1995

The Erstwhile Tyler Kyle

Steve Hugh Westenra

DID NOT FINISH: 80%

I just realized I really didn't care what happened in the story anymore, and pretty much all the characters are unlikeable. 

Wings of Sorrow

Yolanda Sfetsos

DID NOT FINISH: 22%

I'm so surprised that I didn't love this book, because I gave Suffer the Darkness 5 stars last year. The writing in this one just doesn't work for me. It's very "tell-don't-show" and I'm not a huge fan of that. I couldn't get into it. 

Jones 1963

Devin Cabrera

DID NOT FINISH: 25%

The book isn't written very well. There are some very awkward sentences that I had to read several times. There's also a scene where someone sneaks into a car through an open window while someone is outside pushing it. That is absolutely ridiculous. 

All Hallows Eve

Michael Penning

DID NOT FINISH: 40%

Bored to tears

After: The Shock

Scott Nicholson

DID NOT FINISH

The out-the-gate Christian proselytizing is not it for me

Confessions of an Antichrist

Marta Skaði

DID NOT FINISH: 42%

I found the book unbelievably boring. I like a good character study normally, but this was just tedious despite my love of black metal. 

Acid for the Children: A Memoir

Flea

DID NOT FINISH: 50%

I never liked RHCP but I thought Flea's biography would be interesting, but I found myself bored halfway through.
