A delightful collection of stories all focusing on something ending, and each one looking at a different type of how things finish. You can read my full review here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2014/07/20/endings-exists-finishes-and-finales-a-collection-of-six-short-stories/

Literally the worst. They could have made this movie so good based on all the creepy pasta stories I've read and the short horror stories online. But no, they chose a typical horror movie route that backfired and created a nightmare. And not the good kind.

Michael Knight's a collection of short stories gives us the flavor of the many attributes of the city Mobile Alabama and a taste of some of its varied inhabitants, with some wild weather (both literally and figuratively) thrown in for good measure. See what I thought of these stories in my review of "Eveningland" here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2017/03/26/mobile-stories/

Liked the stories, HATED the writing style .....I'd put it down for weeks and not read....rarely do I do that with a book, I can usually finish a short book like this within a day or two and it took MONTHS to finish.... stories were great though

"I first read this short story collection many years ago and it has stayed with me. I was struck by the title, and then the stories, each focused on black girls and women, the worlds of those stories fully realized and held carefully in Johnson’s very talented hands"

Criminally Fun Animal Inspired Short Stories
This latest collection of short stories from the members of Sisters in Crime Chesapeake Chapter features 13 tales, or is it tails, involving animals. Yes, there are lots of dogs and cats featured, including a murdered crazy cat lady, a story about a dog getting into trouble with his human, and a movie stars famous dog. But we get some unusual animals, too, including an octopus and exploding cows.

As with any collection, there were a couple of stories that weren’t to my taste. But I would then find I loved the next one. And when each story takes less than 30 minutes to read, you aren’t committed to something you don’t like for very long. For short stories, the characters were well drawn, and each story featured at least one twist with longer ones features a few more surprises. While a couple stories trend a little darker, there are some light, very fun stories in the collection as well. Truly, there is something here everyone will enjoy.
