I was pleasantly surprised by two things: My ability to keep this going as a bi-weekly thing three posts in a row without forgetting. This short story. The following info is from Skeleton Crew as a whole, not just the short story in question: Author: Stephen King Publisher: Hodder and Stoughton Release Date:…… Continue reading {Short Read Sunday} Mrs Todd’s Shortcut By Stephen King
Wow, sort of a bi-weekly thing at the minute. That’s massive for me seeing as how I normally do one of these Short Read Sunday posts, say I’ll keep it regular then not do it for six months. Here’s hoping I actually keep my word to myself, as this is really the best/easiest way for me…… Continue reading {Short Read Sunday} Cain Rose Up by Stephen King – A Book Review
Right … I’m going to get back to trying to make this a more regular thing. I have said the same nearly every time I make a Short Read Sunday post … but this time I WILL be more successful. The following are the details for Skeleton Crew as a whole as that is the collection…… Continue reading {Short Read Sunday} The Monkey by Stephen King – A Book Review
A while back I decided I would go through the short stories in Skeleton Crew and post a review for each as part of my Short Read Sunday post. I got through a couple and then totally neglected to carry it on. So I decided to revisit it and start reading those stories and reviewing…… Continue reading {Short Read Sunday} Here There Be Tygers by Stephen King – A Book Review
January has been a busy month for me as far as reading goes. I don’t often get so much time to read so sometimes I go a whole month without posting. But this month I managed to finish four novels, two audio books, one short story and a graphic novel. Not sure if I will…… Continue reading January Wrap-Up

Fleet Street reporter Penny Green is suspicious but nothing suggests the sisters have been murdered. The police are disinterested and the school wants to move on from the tragedy. How can Penny persuade…… Continue reading The Teacher: Penny Green Short Mystery by Emily Organ {Short Read Sunday} – A Book Review
Blurb: Death is permanent. This is the falsehood that we tell ourselves so we can sleep at night. It’s the lie that we tell our children so they don’t carry their little kitten’s corpse to the old cemetery deep in the forest, in the grove where nothing living grows. It’s the myth that we wrap…… Continue reading The Misbehaving Dead by Jack Burgos (editor) – a Book Review
My incredibly infrequent, (supposedly) weekly, post, ‘Short Read Sunday’, returns …and hopefully doesn’t vanish again for so long this time. My main problem is that I have been reading so many short story collections and not enough individual ones like this. I suppose I could simply break them apart like I did with the Stephen…… Continue reading Assassin by Keith McArdle – A Book Review {Short Read Sunday}
It’s been a heck of a while since I did one of these, but I have got an urge to read a few more shorts, so thought I’d crack a few more Short Read Sundays out. This week’s instalment comes to us in the form of a short story collection (with three shorts in it).…… Continue reading {Short Read Sunday} Before You Sleep: Three Horrors by Adam L. G. Nevill – A Book Review
