Thank you so much for the opportunity to read this book. Unfortunately it’s not the book for me. DNF @ 24%.

3.5 Stars

An interesting collection of short stories all taking place within a fictional town called Sugarville. None of the stories really connect to one another except for the town they live in, but I still enjoyed it for what it was. If you’ve ever seen the TV show then that’s kind of how this book is. Except there isn’t a singular person to tie all the weirdness together.

If you enjoy bizarro fiction with sci-fi/fantasy elements then I would definitely recommend this anthology. It was definitely a quick and easy read and I’m glad I requested it from Netgalley. I’ll definitely look into other works by this author.

Received via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a must read book of stories for many different genre fans. There is something in this book for everyone that combines to tell its own story of Sugarville.

Review: WELCOME TO SUGARVILLE by J. J. Haas

Wow! Sugarville, GA, is such an adorable small town--except when it's not, which is at the conclusion of each story. A suburb of Greater Atlanta (though I wondered throughout if this fictional community might be founded in one or more of the 19th century towns and villages sprinkled in all directions around Atlanta, formed decades before the City grew into the oversized metropolis it is in this early 21st century), Sugarville is a quiet community of folks living the good life (or not), peaceably (or not). As "a novel told in short stories," this format gives the author ample opportunity to introduce numerous characters and unusual situations, even including some futuristic commentary. I was enraptured throughout, and very impressed. More, Mr. Haas, please.
