Sick Girl Screams

OMG! I binged this book yesterday. I loved this collection of stories. I write horror stories also and I appreciated how personal, weird and heartbreaking these stories were. Really solid collection. I look forward to reading more by SJ Townend who after I checked her website was excited to see that a novel is coming soon.

I love collections of short stories, and this one hit. From the opening piece that struck at my fears as a parent, to a weird little tale about eating disorders, I was captivated from the opening sequence. Some stories did more for me than others, as is apt to happen with a collection. For instance, the story that personified depression was a really good read, but won't necessarily stick with me as much as some the stories later in the book. I devoured this all in a few days, and am definitely looking to read more from this author moving forward. If you want a collection that you can go to for quick hits of moody horror, this one is it.
