My overall thoughts about Spook Lights is that this is an amazing collection of stories! I appreciate the subtle style of gothic horror and that it’s not all about jump scares and intense gore. Instead of things jumping out at you from beyond the pages it’s the suspense that slowly creeps up on you. I loved how Royce immerses her reader in the deep South, and the sharp attention to detail helps to place you in each of the story’s landscapes. A lot of the stories are blend of fantasy, the supernatural, and the real world giving them so many entertaining elements. Most of the stories also deal with the theme of morals or the seven deadly sins and puts truth to the statement of “be careful what you wish for”. I found myself enamored by each spooky tale and the sharp twists and turns they made. Especially the endings of tales that had shocking revelations or cliffhangers. Most of the stories read smoothly for me except for Path of the War Chief because I felt like it didn’t belong with the rest of the collection. It’s hard to pick one favorite story out of this collection since they are all good, but I would choose The Choking Kind. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Pull up a rocking chair and sit a spell. Soak in these tales of Southern Gothic horror:A witchdoctor's niece tells him a life-altering secret, an investigator who keeps a 100%% confession rate....These are stories where the setting itself becomes a character--fog laced cemeteries, sulfur rich marshes--housing creatures that defy understanding and where the grotesque and macabre are celebrated.The true horror is in what you can't see...until it's sitting right next to you.Eden Royce delivers a sultry and spicy dose of Southern Gothic. The stories are rich in flavor and clever in metaphor, the horrors completely surreal or--far moreunnerving--all too possible. She brings a refreshing perspective to the table that paranormal lovers are sure to enjoy.--B.D. Bruns, author ofThe Gothic ShiftYou can feel the warm thick air, the rich history and legends, the desperation of the impoverished, and the deep horror of the betrayed.--Roma Gray, author of Gray Shadows Under a Harvest Moon Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

There were several that were exceptionally well done. Hag Ride, Path of the War Chief, and The Choking Kind were the most appealing to me. The only lesson I would take from the collection is beware of strong women; doesn’t pay to cross them. ( )
